Biography

Edward Hiromu Yanagisako was a Japanese American participant in the Heart Mountain draft-resistance movement. He was confined at Heart Mountain during World War II and subsequently imprisoned for refusing military conscription.

Forced-removal chronology

The institutional biography records confinement at Pomona Assembly Center on May 11, 1942, followed by arrival at Heart Mountain on August 19, 1942. These are confinement-stage milestones, not a complete continuous-custody span or a change to the draft-resistance case. Heart Mountain institutional biography.
