Here is a 1924 film of the California Cotton Mills in the Fruitvale
district of Oakland. This was the largest mill east of the Mississippi. It
is similar to many in Massachucetts that also had a large Portuguese
workforce. Mygg-grandfather worked in the Lowell mills as a weaver before
coming back
Great picture Eric! Thanks for posting! Rosemarie

I've known a few Portuguese in California who first went from the Azores to
Hawaii to work in the sugarcane fields and then came to California.
