Biography
An April 18, 1942 Camp McCoy report states that William Fantine arrived at the Wisconsin camp on April 16, 1942 from Fort Des Moines, Iowa. This is an actual civilian-internee transfer receipt, not merely an order for future movement. April 16 is a camp-arrival date after earlier custody, not an established first arrest or initial detention day. The record concerns wartime civilian administrative confinement. No criminal conviction, ethnicity, citizenship or political affiliation is inferred. Exact initial detention, final release and completed custody duration remain unverified. Administrative descriptions of permanent internment are not treated as life sentences.
