Excerpt from Desert Exile: The Uprooting
of a Japanese-American Family

By Yoshiko Uchida

As soon as we got off the bus, we were directed to an area beneath the grandstand where we registered and filled out a series of forms. Our baggage was inspected for contraband, a cursory medical check made, and our living quarters assigned. We were to be housed in Barrack 16, Apartment 40. Fortunately, some friends who had arrived earlier found us and offered to help us locate our quarters.

It had rained the day before and the hundreds of people who had trampled on the track had turned it into a miserable mass of slippery mud. We made our way on it carefully, helping my mother who was dressed just as she would have been to go to church. She wore a hat, gloves, her good coat, and her Sunday shoes, because she would not have thought of venturing outside our house dressed in any other way.

Their baggage was inspected before they were assigned housing.

Hundreds of people had trampled on the track.

They were directed to an area beneath the grandstand.

People seek out friends and help them get settled.
