Book Description
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), Franklin D. Roosevelt¿s New Deal program to help young, unemployed men during the Great Depression by hiring them to work in a mammoth ¿forest army,¿ completed thousands of vital conservation projects nationwide. They were paid just $30 a month¿a dollar a day. In the Catskills, at CCC camps in Ulster County, Greene County, Schoharie County, Delaware County, and Broome County, city boys and their country cousins, under the tutelage of local woodsmen and mechanics, wielded axes, mattocks and shovels to transform the Catskills in subtle and significant ways, planting millions of trees (more than 3 1⁄2 million in Delaware County in 1934 alone), fighting stream and soil erosion, and building roads, fire towers, hiking trails, ski trails, and the campsites at North Lake, Woodland Valley, Devil¿s Tombstone and Beaverkill. This new history, illustrated with more than 100 photographs and maps, tells their story--who they were, where they came from, what they did, and the legacy they left behind.

Hoosiers and the American Story
Author: Madison, James H.Publisher: Indiana Historical Society
ISBN: 0871953633
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
