Since he was not the oldest son, he decided America held as much promise for success as staying in Japan. After working on railroads in California and Oregon, he saved enough money to purchase land in Oregon, and was one of the first Japanese to settle in Hood River. He asked his family to find him a wife, and in 1911, his wife Matsu joined him. They had 8 children—the author is the youngest—who all helped at the farm except for the oldest, Masako, who was sent to live with an aunt in Japan. When Pearl Harbor was attacked, two of the family's sons were already serving in the army.\n </p>\n <p>\n The Asai family was taken first to\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Pinedale_(detention_facility)\" title=\"Pinedale (detention facility)\">\n Pinedale Assembly Center\n </a>\n , near Fresno, California, and from there, went to\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Tule_Lake\" title=\"Tule Lake\">\n Tule Lake\n </a>\n . When the\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Loyalty_questionnaire\" title=\"Loyalty questionnaire\">\n loyalty questionnaire\n </a>\n was distributed, Sagoro tried to discourage others from responding \"no-no\" to questions 27 and 28, fearing that they would be separated if they did. Since they responded \"yes-yes\" to those questions, they were moved to\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Heart_Mountain\" title=\"Heart Mountain\">\n Heart Mountain\n </a>\n when Tule Lake was designated a segregation center. The author details the difficulties the family faced returning to Hood River—they were the first Japanese family to return, and were met with considerable hostility and hardship.\n </p>\n <p>\n The author also shares her experiences as a Fulbright teacher in Japan in the 1950s and her family's search for and eventual reunion with Katsumi, the surviving son of Masako, the author's eldest sister who was killed during American bombing raids during World War II.\n </p>\n </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"Historical_Accuracy\">\n <h2>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Historical_Accuracy\">\n Historical Accuracy\n </span>\n </h2>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <p>\n In the section where the author explains the loyalty questionnaire, she mistakenly states that while there were Nisei who volunteered for the army, no one was drafted from camp. This is not the case. Starting in early 1944, the U.S. Army began drafting Nisei out of camp.\n </p>\n <div id=\"authorByline\">\n <b>\n Authored by\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Emily_Anderson\" title=\"Emily Anderson\">\n Emily Anderson\n </a>\n </b>\n </div>\n <div id=\"citationAuthor\" style=\"display:none;\">\n Anderson, Emily\n </div>\n </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"Further_Information\">\n <h2>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Further_Information\">\n Further Information\n </span>\n </h2>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <p>\n Chapter \"EO 9066.\" In\n <i>\n Many Faces: An Anthology of Oregon Autobiography\n </i>\n .
