Project Overview

The program described the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps, which was a 1930's federal jobs program that gave work to over 90,000 young men in Minnesota. They planted forests, built state parks, constructed roads and other projects. The presenter of the program, Bill Jamerson, has produced a PBS film about the CCC, and written a novel set during that time. In the program, Jamerson showed a short clip from his PBS film, "Camp Forgotten, read excerpts from his book, Big Shoulders, and also sang six songs from the time.
