Published in 1934, this 74-page bound book showcases eleven Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps located in the area of the Great Smoky Mountains. Each section discusses the establishment of a single camp and includes photographs of camp life as well as photographs and names of several thousand enrollees. Begun as a means to put the unemployed to work during the Great Depression, the program aided in conservation and in the construction of national parks. Young men assigned to this district typically were employed in forestry cleanup; road, bridge, and trail building; and fire safety. Established in 1933, the CCC operated until 1942.
