Algona’s POW Camp inspiration for book
Sally Jameson Bond is an Iowa girl, born and bred. She is the daughter of a WWII and Korean War Veteran father and an artistic mother who loved to write. In 2015, she learned from her husband Joe (who hails from Fort Dodge) that there were prisoner of war camps in Iowa during WWII.
After Sally recovered from her shock (it didn’t take long), she decided she would write a story about one of those camps. And so, she did.
