Description
Everything Was Wonderful: A Pictorial History of the Civilian Conservation Corps in Shenandoah National Park.
The men and boys of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) played a crucial role in the development of Shenandoah National Park. The landscaping along Skyline Drive and other developed areas; the water, sewer, and telephone systems; the cabins and buildings and picnic areas; many, many miles of trails–all are the work of the CCC. Reed Engle, the park’s Cultural Resource Specialist, tells the fascinating story of the CCC “”boys”” in the park, with innumerable details of their work and life, quotations from the boys themselves, and over 100 photographs. You will be tempted to look through and study this book again and again.
