I'll definitely bookmark it. I'...Great Blog. I'll definitely bookmark it. I've been researching the CCC in the NW and recently published a novel set in such a camp. TREE SOLDIER won in historical fiction for the 2012 EPIC ebook award two weeks ago. What I enjoy so much about writing and researching about the 3 Cs is meeting family members of relatives who served and foresters and park people who love the work of those CCC boys.<br /><br />I understand that many of the records of the CCC are housed in the St Louis branch of the National Archives, though collections for WA inquiries are in Bellingham, WA and Seattle.historywriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646517639758524668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714866896980980706.post-15762926193097828782012-03-25T19:08:28.252-07:002012-03-25T19:08:28.252-07:00Hello Iowa.

Let me check the file cabinet and I'll repost with a comment on Iowa CCC work if I have anything.<br /><br />It's amazing how many CCC camps were repurposed for use as POW camps and for other uses. One camp in Phoenix, Arizona was used as a POW camp and sadly, another camp north of Phoenix was used to house Japanese Americans for a short time.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05980508376512022350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714866896980980706.post-23268256632392469352012-03-23T10:58:04.991-07:002012-03-23T10:58:04.991-07:00Are you aware of the CCC Camps in Iowa?

We are currently working on restoring the original Recreational Hall for Camp Flying Goose 1755 & Erosioners 1752 which came to Eldora, Iowa in November, 1933 & 1935 to help build the second lake for Pine Creek (now Lake) State Park. We have quite an interesting story as when World War II started, our CCC campsite also became a Prisoner of War Camp for Italian and German Prisoners. Very little information is known about us, so thought I would share a bit for your taste buds. It was fun reading about other camps in the US. Our CCC camp was in business from 1933-1942, POW camp 1943-1946.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
