In the spring of 1942, the United States government forced 120,000 Japanese Americans from their homes in California, Oregon, Washington, and Arizona and sent them to incarceration camps across the West. Nearly 14,000 of them landed on the outskirts of Cody, Wyoming, at the base of Heart Mountain. Behind barbed wire fences, they faced racism, cruelty, and frozen winters. Trying to recreate comforts from home, many established Buddhist temples and sumo wrestling pits. Kabuki performances drew hundreds of spectators-yet there was little hope. That is, until the fall of 1943, when the camp's high school football team, the Eagles, started its first season and finished it undefeated, crushing the competition from nearby, predominantly white high schools. Amid all this excitement, American politics continued to disrupt their lives as the federal government drafted men from the camps for the front lines-including some of the Eagles. As the team's second season kicked off, the young men faced a choice to either join the Army or resist the draft. Teammates were divided, and some were jailed for their decisions. $c Provided by publisher. 650 $a Japanese Americans $x Evacuation and relocation, 1942-1945. 650 $a Heart Mountain Relocation Center (Wyo.) 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Wyoming. $x Wyoming. 650 $a Football teams $x History. $x History. 650 $a High school athletes $x History. $x History. 650 $a Large type books. 650 $a Heart Mountain Relocation Center (Wyo.) 650 $a Concentration camps. 650 $a Football teams. 650 $a High school athletes. 650 $a Japanese Americans. 650 $a Large type books. 650 $a Wyoming. 655 $a History. 650 $a LARGE PRINT / HISTORY / United States / 20th Century 650 $a LARGE PRINT / SPORTS & RECREATION / Football 650 $a HISTORY / United States / 20th Century 650 $a SPORTS & RECREATION / Football 941 $a 17 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012030925.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021421.0 952 $l CRPC926 $d 20230727011342.0 952 $l TRPE062 $d 20221230010255.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909063807.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20220903010836.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20220223012315.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118022344.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20211021034246.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20211001010910.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20210706010925.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210602011501.0 952 $l XHPD657 $d 20210526011140.0 952 $l SNPC104 $d 20210512152115.0 $m SNPC104 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20210504011058.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210421010058.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20210312010149.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=98F41952830011EB840D63B52BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
