Imprisoned in Paradise: Japanese Internee Road Workers at the World War II Kooskia Internment Camp (Caxton, 2010). She is the founder and volunteer curator of the University of Idaho's Asian American Comparative Collection. Klappentext In 1893 this site, at turbulent Canyon Creek, was a footnote in the saga of the ill-fated Carlin hunting party. Next, in 1933, it housed nearly 200 tent-dwelling Civilian Conservation Corps recruits, most of whom were 'city slickers' from New YorkState whose antics provide a colourful tableau of young men on their own and far from home. In 1935 the site became Federal Prison Camp No. 11, a roadbuilding facility for convicts mostly from the Leavenworth, Kansas, penitentiary. This text explores some intriguing history of Idaho's wild and scenic Lochsa River.
