Bibliographic Information: This photograph was taken
by Russell Lee in June, 1941 in San Diego California.

 Caption: Family moving into trailer at the FSA (Farm Security
 Administration) camp for defense workers. This family is from
 Minnesota. The man came to San Diego ten months ago and enrolled
 in a vocational school. He started to work at Consolidated Aircrafts as
 a riveter and is now a clerk in the machine shop. Before his family
 came out three weeks ago he lived in a cabin for which he paid twelve
 dollars per month. He said it was alright for a man but that he wouldn't
 take his wife and children into such a place. He got a furnished
 apartment for his family--it was two rooms, rental eleven dollars per
 week. His wife soon discovered that there was inadequate hot water
 and was overrun with roaches and rats.

Caption: Family moving into trailer at the FSA (Farm Security Administration) camp for defense workers. This family is from Minnesota. The man came to San Diego ten months ago and enrolled in a vocational school. He started to work at Consolidated Aircrafts as a riveter and is now a clerk in the machine shop. Before his family came out three weeks ago he lived in a cabin for which he paid twelve dollars per month. He said it was alright for a man but that he wouldn't take his wife and children into such a place. He got a furnished apartment for his family--it was two rooms, rental eleven dollars per week.

Highsmith’s California project is made possible by funding from the Capital Group Companies Charitable Foundation in memory of Jon B. Lovelace. The collection will provide a valuable visual portrait of California at the beginning of the 21st century and will be given to the Library copyright-free. The images will be housed in the Library’s Prints and Photographs Division. These photographs are part of Highsmith’s This Is America! project, which will document America state by state over the next 15 years.
