Summary In this engaging oral history, residents of California's scenic, sparsely-populated Owens Valley reflect on their varied experiences with the region's turbulent past. Contested themes of Native American removal, water transfers, and wartime internment are interwoven with remembrances of the valley's multicultural communities, its cattle ranching and agriculture, and its Western filmmaking, railroad, and mining enterprises. Together, author and narrators create an accessible and richly textured work of history, memory, and place Notes Print version record Subject Manzanar War Relocation Center -- Anecdotes SUBJECT Manzanar War Relocation Center fast Subject Japanese Americans -- California -- Owens Valley -- Biography -- Anecdotes Japanese Americans -- Forced removal and internment, 1942-1945 -- Anecdotes Interviews -- California -- Owens Valley Oral history.
