Efforts Underway to Restore New Salem Historic Site

Thanks Gene. It's a great suggestion to create an updated version of the CCC. I read Jameson's book reviews on Amazon and then found this on the Internet Archive.

Presentation by Bill Jamerson, filmmaker, songwriter, and author of Big Shoulders, a historical novel that follows a year in the life of a seventeen-year-old youth from Detroit who enlisted in the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1937.

He also made a documentary film Camp Forgotten: the Civilian Conservation Corps in Michigan - "Camp Forgotten explores the role of the CCC in Michigan. Some of their projects included the building of the Seney National Wildlife Refuge, Caberfae Ski Area, and the transport of moose from Isle Royale to the Upper Peninsula. The only Native American CCC camp in the nation was also in the state, Camp Marquette. Camp Forgotten includes interviews with over a dozen CCC members who vividly describe life in camp and how the experience changed their lives. Combining archival footage and photographs with location cinematography of CCC-built structures, this timeless program tells the dramatic story of how young men discovered their potential as productive citizens while restoring Michigan's devasted wilderness"
