Civilian Conservation Enrollees in Arizona;

In 1936 representatives of the Direct Advertising Company of Baton Rouge Louisiana visited the 31 Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps in Arizona. At each location they photographed the young enrollees and as well as their supervisors and even some of their work projects. The result was two annuals with many photos and thousands of names and many of their hometowns. Today these official annuals are extremely rare and owned by just a few archives across the country. CCC historian Robert W. "Bob" Audretsch combed through the two annuals to compile this list of over 4,000 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 in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
