Oral History Program Interview: Myron C. Frane

Frane was born in Tingley, Iowa in 1912. He and his family established themselves as fruit farmers in Reedley, California in late 1917. Frane would become an employee of the Farm Security Administration providing loans to poor farmers. His interview provides information on Asian farmworkers and the Japanese internment, labor camp conditions, the exaggerated claims in The Grapes of Wrath, and what constituted as an "Okie."
