Description

Small black and white photo of a man standing in front of a tent with a sign, "Camp Office" and an arrow pointing to the left. Many other tents, barracks, and Sierras in background. Written in pencil on reverse, "Arthur Parkinson at Manzanar." Stamped with "211." It looks as though this photo was affixed to something as there are two strips of photo paper torn away on the back. A note with the photo says: Pictures taken in March-April 1942 at Manzanar, Calif. Arthur Parkinson worked for Griffith Construction Company who was building the relocation center for the Japanese who were to be kept there several years during WWII.
