In 1936 representatives of the Direct Advertising Company of Baton Rouge Louisiana visited 47 Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps in Texas and New Mexico. At each location they photographed the young enrollees and as well as their supervisors and even some of their work projects. The result was three annuals with many photos and thousands of names including most of their hometowns. Today these official annuals are extremely rare and owned by just a few libraries and archives across the country. CCC historian Robert W. "Bob" Audretsch combed through the three annuals to compile this list of 6,900 enrollee names. The CCC went on to become the most popular of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal programs. Ultimately over three million men participated and many went on to serve in the U.S. armed forces in World War II. This book is a gold mine for those who had ancestors who served in the CCC in New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. This is his seventh book of CCC enrollee names intended for family research. Audretsch is the author of detailed histories of the CCC in Arizona and Colorado. His recent Colorado history was reviewed as "detailed," "readable," "well-organized" and the "definitive work on the Colorado CCC." Hus next project is a detailed history of the CCC in Wyoming.

BETWEEN 1933 and 1942, nearly 200,000 young African-Americans participated in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), one of Franklin D. Roosevelt's most successful New Deal agencies. In an effort to correct the lack of historical attention paid to the African-American contribution to the CCC, Olen Cole, Jr., examines their participation in the Corps as well as its impact on them. Though federal legislation establishing the CCC held that no bias of "race, color, or creed" was to be tolerated, Cole demonstrates that the very presence of African-Americans in the CCC, as well as the placement of the segregated CCC work camps in predominantly white California communities, became significant sources of controversy. Cole assesses community resistance to all-black camps, as well as the conditions of the state park camps, national forest camps, and national park camps where African-American work companies in California were stationed. He also evaluates the educational and recreational experiences of African-American CCC participants, their efforts to combat racism, and their contributions to the protection and maintenance of California's national forests and parks. Perhaps most important, Cole's use of oral histories gives voice to individual experiences: former Corps members discuss the benefits of employment, vocational training, and character development as well as their experiences of community reaction to all-black CCC camps. An important and much neglected chapter in American history, Cole's study should interest students of New Deal politics, state and national park history, and the African-American experience in the twentieth century.

"...This book is a story of the people and places that made the CCC a success in Arizona. Yet what you have here is so much more than that. Sharon and Bob have really created a photo album that chronicles the people and places of the CCC in Arizona in a way never before seen in my recollection. The images and text here represent what the photo album of a CCC enrollee would have looked like had he worked in camps across the state, chronicling what might have been the biggest adventure of a young man's life if a world war hadn't intervened so abruptly and so violently in 1942" -- p. 6-7.

INTRODUCTION They came from all over America—from the big cities, from the small towns, from the farms—tens of thousands of young men, to serve in the vanguard of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal in the spring of 1933. They were the young men of the Civilian Conservation Corps. They opted for long days and hard, dirty work, living in quasi-military camps often far from home in the nation's publicly owned forests and parks. But they earned money to send back to their needy families, received three square meals a day, and escaped from idle purposelessness by contributing to the renewal and beautification of the country. By the time the CCC program ended as the nation was entering World War II, more than 2.5 million men had served in more than 4,500 camps across the country. The men had planted over 3 billion trees, combated soil erosion and forest fires, and occasionally dealt with natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts.
