Description
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) played a fundamental role in developing early Mount Rainier National Park between 1933-1940. CCC companies consisted of groups of 18-25 year old, single men with families (part of their wages were sent home) who worked for six month enrollment periods during the summer. The first five companies at Mount Rainier included three from New York, one from Illinois, and one from western Washington.
