What I'm Reading: Farewell to Manzanar - 14 in a series -

“The War Department was in charge of all the camps at this point. They began to issue military surplus from the First World War—olive-drab knit caps, earmuffs, peacoats, canvas leggings. Later on, sewing machines were shipped in, and one barracks was turned into a clothing factory.”

From Farwell to Manzanar by by Jeanne Wakatsuki Housto and James D. Houston
