Owens Valley Dust Storm

Title

Owens Valley Dust Storm

Description

Dust storms occurred with great frequency at Manzanar. Photographer Dorothea Lange later wrote, ‚"Well, they had the meanest dust storms there and not a blade of grass. And the springs are so cruel. When those people arrived there they couldn‚'t keep the tarpaper on the shacks. Oh my, there were some pretty terrible chapters in that history.‚" Photograph by Dorothea Lange, Owens Valley, California, July 3, 1942. National Archives 539961.
