Photo of Chinese Carving on Wall,Angel Island Internment Camp,California,CA,2006

Title: Chinese carving on the wall at Angel Island internment camp, California
Creator(s): Highsmith, Carol M., 1946-, photographer
Date Created/Published: 2006 July 1.
Notes:
Like a bigger Alcatraz, Angel Island is an 'away' place for the city, now as a park, but formerly as a site for activities undesirable in the midst of the city. Since the first use of the island as an artillery station in the 1860s, it has hosted many generations of gun batteries, up until 1962. Meanwhile it served as the Bay Area's primary quarantine and 'disinfection' station, as the immigrant processing and detention center known as 'the Ellis Island of the West,' and as a prisoner of war camp during World Wars.
