In 1943, renowned photographer Ansel Adams (1902–84), famous for his western landscapes, documented the daily life of Japanese Americans interned at the Manzanar War Relocation Center during World War II. The internment camp was located in Inyo County, California, on the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In 1944, Adams published a number of the photographs with accompanying text in Born Free and Equal: The Story of Loyal Japanese Americans.
