"A Willow Tree Becomes a Forest" brings to life the Pacific Northwest 140 years ago. Imagined dialogue and more than 300 photographs recreate this world of Salem, Oregon when Hop Lee arrives, penniless, but with an ambition to succeed. You will join Hop on his journey as a Chinese wash house owner, poultry man, and eventually as a landowner and hop farmer. Hop Lee's outsized ambitions are only matched by his desire to become American as he accumulates bankers, newspaper publishers, politicians, and Salem businessmen as his unlikely circle of friends.
