We Still Walk in Their Footprint: The Civilian Conservation Corps in Northern Arizona, 1933-1942

$21.95

When the Great Depression began in 1929, many young men were without hope. Without job training or experience, they could not survive. For many, their only salvation was the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)-a program that put poor young men to work in national parks, national forests, state parks, and other public lands. In northern Arizona, the CCC boys planted trees, built roads and buildings, strung telephone lines, erected fences, constructed trails and campgrounds, and put out forest fires. During the terrible winter of 1936-1937, they came to the rescue of hundreds of ranchers and their starving livestock. The work of the CCC boys was not only prolific but also made to last. From the Petrified Forest’s Painted Desert Inn to the cabins and trails of Kingman’s Hualapai Mountain Park to Prescott’s Granite Basin Recreation Area, we still walk in their footprint.
