Mary Adams Urashima is a historian, former journalist and freelance writer, with thirty years in media, governmental and public affairs, and author of Historic Wintersburg in Huntington Beach (History Press). She chairs the grassroots preservation effort to save the Furuta Gold Fish Farm and Wintersburg Japanese Mission property in Huntington Beach, known as Historic Wintersburg. Mary identified and named the historic property, which was designated one of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places in 2014 and one of America's National Treasures in 2015.

Historic Wintersburg marks more than a century of Japanese American history and represents pioneer arrival and settlement in the American West, Orange County's agricultural history, pioneer achievement, and the struggle for civil liberties. Everyone associated with the Furuta farm and Wintersburg Japanese Mission faced alien land laws and was forcibly removed from California and incarcerated during World War II.
