Adirondack Civilian Conservation Corps Camps: History, Memories, and Legacy of the CCC

The Civilian Conservation Corps was a public works program that operated from 1933 to 1942 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. It targeted single men, aged eighteen to twenty-five, as well as veterans that had difficulty finding jobs during the Great Depression. The program provided unskilled manual labor to environmental conservation and to development of natural resources. The U.S. Army supervised the camps, with 200 men at each. There were eventually twenty-six such camps in the Adirondacks. The page count of this softcover book by Martin Podskoch is 352 with a trim size of 8.5 by 11.5 inches.
