1941WRCAM56386Detroit: Spencer & Wyckoff 1941. Large format photograph 12 x 19 3/4 inches. A few small chips and short tears. Mild scuffing moderate staining and soiling. Good condition. A rare aerial view of the short-lived American military installation at Camp Livingston Louisiana. The camp opened in 1940 and closed in 1945 and was created to train field artillery regiments during World War II hence the "F.A." in the title of the photograph. The most notable use of Camp Livingston began the year after this photograph was taken when the American government used the camp to house thousands of Japanese German and Italian prisoners of war. In addition as many as a thousand Japanese-American citizens were held at Camp Livingston as part of the War Relocation Authority's wartime internment program. The present photograph would be useful in studying the accommodations for wartime prisoners and internees or perhaps the changes over time to the camp to accommodate them. No copies located in OCLC.
