Thirty Dollars a Day, One Day a Month John Kenneth Justin

Thirty Dollars a Day, One Day a Month is an anecdotal history of the Civilian Conservation Corps as told by CCC men in their own words or through their recollections as provided by their family members. In addition it contains notations of the service of other men without elaboration, either by the CCC member himself or by his family. The Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, was a New Deal program that provided work for three million forced into unemployment by the Great Depression. During its existence from 1933 to 1942, the CCC men fought pestilence, forest fires and soil erosion in addition to opening our national and state parks to the public. It is hoped that through these pages the reader will learn what it was like to live in that time, to find hope and in the CCCs, to work in its camps, live in its barracks, make friends in its ranks, and feel a pride in its accomplishments. Volume III contains the information of men with last names beginning with the letters Q to Z.
