Bob Fletcher at Nitta Farms
- Title
- Bob Fletcher at Nitta Farms
- Description
- For Japanese Americans who returned to their West Coast homes after the war, many found their pre-war lives in ruins. Squatters had claimed their homes while thieves left behind little of value. Only 25% of pre-war farm operators recovered their land after the war. Occasionally, non-Japanese friends maintained or looked after properties. Near Sacramento, Bob Fletcher (pictured here at a farm formerly operated by J. Nitta) quit his job to manage the fruit farms of three incarcerated Japanese American families.
