More than 120,000 Japanese immigrants and Japanese-Americans were forced into internment camps across the American West after President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066.

They were sent, ostensibly to avoid sabotage and spying, to camps in California, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and other states as far away as Arkansas as war hysteria gripped the nation and citizens feared another attack after the Japanese attack on Pear Harbor.

While there, photographer Billy Manbo captured everyday life at the Heart Mountain internment camp by taking photographs.

While there, Manbo, who was a car mechanic from Riverside, California, documented both the bleakness and beauty of his surroundings, using Kodachrome film, a technique that was only seven years old.

While at the Heart Mountain internment camp in Wyoming, the Manbo often captured images of his toddler son, Billy, as he is pictured above holding onto a barbed wire fence
