Description
The account, partially biographical, partially an account on social and economic life of a Californian community, is the result of many interviews with a Nisei farmer. As part of his story, Mr. X told the interviewer of the early days of his Japanese-born parents in America and how he became head of the family and a farm operator when he was 16 years old. He described the methods of producing and marketing celery and the kind of life he and his neighbors led in the Venice community.
