Louisiana's Most Endangered

Camp Ruston POW Buildings (Ruston, Lincoln Parish) –

Local farm land was acquired by the federal government to establish this internment camp for WWII Prisoners of War. It was activated on Christmas Day 1942 and reached its peak population in October 1943 with 4,315 prisoners. The site went on to become a tuberculosis hospital and later turned over to Grambling State University. Remaining Camp Ruston buildings survive today in poor condition and may need to be moved to be restored.

Wesley Harris (b. Ruston, LA) has written extensively on police procedures during a law enforcement career spanning four decades. Now his writing focuses on fiction and topics of personal interest in American history. He earned his B.S. and M.A. at Louisiana Tech University and pursued additional graduate work at Grambling State University.

Headed for baseball stardom with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Gene’s destiny was interrupted by Pearl Harbor. After playing ball for the Navy in the Azores and North Africa, Gene and his team were sent to the States for a special—and top secret—mission: guarding German sailors captured from U-505. Unable to field a team, Gene convinced his commander to allow him to teach the enemy how to play baseball while he and his teammates waited for the war to end so they could be called up into the Major Leagues. But Gene’s future changed irrevocably in Louisiana. His life . . . and maybe our national pastime . . . was forever altered.
