Background
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a public work relief program that ran from 1933-1942 in the United States. Created as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, the CCC provided manual labor jobs for unemployed and unmarried men ages 18-28. Jobs in the CCC related to conservation and the development of rural lands owned by local, state, and federal governments and included projects such as planting trees; and constructing trails, lodges, and other buildings in parks nationwide; as well as public roadways. Camps, such as the two featured in this collection, were temporary built around any areas where work was to be performed.
