Excerpt from The Stanley Families of America: As Descended From John, Timothy, and Thomas Stanley of Hartford, Ct, 1636 At the urgent request of members of the Stanley family in New Britain, Conn., I was persuaded to undertake the preparation of this volume. It is true that researches of the kind were not altogether uncongenial to my taste, and I had from time to time gathered a good many materials suitable to a place in such a work. But occupied as I was by an absorbing profession, which demanded all my resources of time and strength, I really was unable to give to this that patient, protracted, I may add, expensive course of investigation which the nature of the undertaking required. Those who have had experience in such labors will know full well what I mean; those who have not, will scarcely appreciate them, however fully described. In now giving the results of my work to those interested in them, I have only to say that I have done the best I could. I have not attempted to make it as exhaustive as some similar volumes have been. My aim has not been to follow the ramifications of descent outside of the Stanley name. The Stanley daughters, who by marriage lost that name, became, by so doing, incorporated into other family lines, many of them of high position and repute, the exhibition of which would be extremely interesting, but the magnitude of the task involved in tracing them out for this purpose, would be greater than I could assume. Neither was it piawble to include, in connection with the various names, a large mass of biographical and historical matter which had been collected.

*Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography* *Winner of the 2020 National Book Critics Circle Award* *Winner of the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography* A “captivating” (The Washington Post) work of history that explores the life of an unconventional woman during the first half of the 19th century in Edo—the city that would become Tokyo—and a portrait of a city on the brink of a momentous encounter with the West. The daughter of a Buddhist priest, Tsuneno was born in a rural Japanese village and was expected to live a traditional life much like her mother’s. But after three divorces—and a temperament much too strong-willed for her family’s approval—she ran away to make a life for herself in one of the largest cities in the world: Edo, a bustling metropolis at its peak. With Tsuneno as our guide, we experience the drama and excitement of Edo just prior to the arrival of American Commodore Perry’s fleet, which transformed Japan. During this pivotal moment in Japanese history, Tsuneno bounces from tenement to tenement, marries a masterless samurai, and eventually enters the service of a famous city magistrate. Tsuneno’s life provides a window into 19th-century Japanese culture—and a rare view of an extraordinary woman who sacrificed her family and her reputation to make a new life for herself, in defiance of social conventions. “A compelling story, traced with meticulous detail and told with exquisite sympathy” (The Wall Street Journal), Stranger in the Shogun’s City is “a vivid, polyphonic portrait of life in 19th-century Japan [that] evokes the Shogun era with panache and insight” (National Review of Books).

Stanley Hayami was sixteen when he was sent to Heart Mountain, an internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II. He kept a diary of his life in the camps, augmented with sketches and drawings. In 1944, like many young Nisei men, he was drafted into the 442nd Infantry Regimental Combat Team, an all-Nisei unit, continuing to write and earning a Bronze Star. He never lost his faith in America, and remained defiantly patriotic to the last. He was killed in combat in Northern Italy on April 23rd, 1945, while trying to help a fellow soldier. He was nineteen years old. This book is based on his diary, now in the permanent collection of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, Ca.
