19181914San Antonio 1918. Very good. Albumen photograph 6 x 8 inches. Mounted to a brown card 10 x 12 inches. Light soiling and wear to image corners of mount rubbed. A wonderful photograph of a parade float featuring a model bi-plane and the slogan "For our boys at the Front." The image shows the lengthy float drawn by four horses their harnesses studded with American flags. Three men sit at the front of the wagon while perched behind them is a small bi-plane with a fourth man seated inside. American flags deck out the front and rear of the float and star-spangled paper or cloth covers the wagon wheels. The float stands on a gravel street in front of a row of several clapboard businesses and a wood plank sidewalk; there are also two telephone poles with wires. The signage on one of the buildings reads "Bell Machine Works: Dealer in Marine Supplys." We guess but have not confirmed that this might be in San Antonio where Camp Travis was an active military post. A splendid image particularly with the model plane. unknown books

"I have written this booklet because I have found so many people know almost nothing about the evacuation of the Japanese Canadian people from the west coast during the war. At the coast after Pearl Harbor a Japanese family might be living next door to you and a few days later they were gone and no one knew where particularly after they left the exhibition buildings in Vancouver. I feel sorry this story has to be told in part so that such a thing does not happen to any other group of people in this country. Tashme was established at the Fourteen Mile Ranch and the first families arrived in September 1942. I have written mostly about the high school and its students but everyone in the community was effected by the events I have recorded." - from Preface.
