Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BETWEEN 1933 and 1942, nearly 200,000 young African-Americans participated in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), one of Franklin D. Roosevelt's most successful New Deal agencies. In an effort to correct the lack of historical attention paid to the African-American contribution to the CCC, Olen Cole, Jr., examines their participation in the Corps as well as its impact on them. Though federal legislation establishing the CCC held that no bias of "race, color, or creed" was to be tolerated, Cole demonstrates that the very presence of African-Americans in the CCC, as well as the placement of the segregated CCC work camps in predominantly white California communities, became significant sources of controversy. Cole assesses community resistance to all-black camps, as well as the conditions of the state park camps, national forest camps, and national park camps where African-American work companies in California were stationed. He also evaluates the educational and recreational experiences of African-American CCC participants, their efforts to combat racism, and their contributions to the protection and maintenance of California's national forests and parks. Perhaps most important, Cole's use of oral histories gives voice to individual experiences: former Corps members discuss the benefits of employment, vocational training, and character development as well as their experiences of community reaction to all-black CCC camps. An important and much neglected chapter in American history, Cole's study should interest students of New Deal politics, state and national park history, and the African-American experience in the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the Civilian Conservation Corps constructed, rejuvenated, and protected American forests and parks at the height of the Great Depression. Propelled by the unprecedented poverty of the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established an array of massive public works programs designed to provide direct relief to America’s poor and unemployed. The New Deal’s most tangible legacy may be the Civilian Conservation Corps’s network of parks, national forests, scenic roadways, and picnic shelters that still mark the country’s landscape. CCC enrollees, most of them unmarried young men, lived in camps run by the Army and worked hard for wages (most of which they had to send home to their families) to preserve America’s natural treasures. In The New Deal’s Forest Army, Benjamin F. Alexander chronicles how the corps came about, the process applicants went through to get in, and what jobs they actually did. He also explains how the camps and the work sites were run, how enrollees spent their leisure time, and how World War II brought the CCC to its end. Connecting the story of the CCC with the Roosevelt administration’s larger initiatives, Alexander describes how FDR’s policies constituted a mixed blessing for African Americans who, even while singled out for harsh treatment, benefited enough from the New Deal to become an increasingly strong part of the electorate behind the Democratic Party. The CCC was the only large-scale employment program whose existence FDR foreshadowed in speeches during the 1932 campaign—and the dearest to his heart throughout the decade that it lasted. Alexander reveals how the work itself left a lasting imprint on the country’s terrain as the enrollees planted trees, fought forest fires, landscaped public parks, restored historic battlegrounds, and constructed dams and terraces to prevent floods. A uniquely detailed exploration of life in the CCC, The New Deal’s Forest Army compellingly demonstrates how one New Deal program changed America and gave birth to both contemporary forestry and the modern environmental movement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A National Plan for American Forestry, Vol. 2 of 2: Letter From the Secretary of Agriculture Transmitting in Response to S. Res; 175 (Seventy-Second Congress); The Report of the Forest Service of the Agricultural Department on the Forest Problem of the United States The Weeks law was the first of the present-day Federal aid measures enacted by Congress which embodied the condition of equal sharing of expenditure by the States. Various forms of land grants had, of course, been made long before this. Measures had also been taken by Congress in support of State colleges of agriculture and of agricultural experiment stations. By the passage of the Weeks law a lump sum of $200,000 was made available until expended - to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to cooperate with any State or group of States, when requested to do so, in the protection from fire of the forested watersheds of navigable streams; and the Secretary of Agriculture is hereby authorized, and on such conditions as he deems wise, to stipulate and agree with any State or group of States to cooperate in the organization and maintenance of a system of fire protection on any private or State forest lands within such State or States and situated upon the watershed of a navigable river: Provided, That no such stipulation or agreement shall be made with any State which has not provided by law for a system of forest fire protection: Provided further, That in no case shall the amount expended in any State exceed in any fiscal year the amount appropriated by that State for the same purpose during the same fiscal year. During the fiscal year 1911, cooperation was undertaken with 11 States under this act. The number increased steadily to a total of 29 States in 1925, and meanwhile additional appropriations were made under the act. During the calendar year 1911, $36,692 Federal, $165,975 State, and $54,590 private money was expended upon the protection of approximately 60,779,000 acres of forested watersheds. In the fiscal year 1925, the last year prior to cooperation under the Clarke-McNary law, the corresponding amounts spent were $397,651 Federal and $1,844,192 State and private. Combined expenditures under the Weeks law were thus increased nearly tenfold from 1911 to 1925, and the area of forest land under cooperative protection in 1925 was three times that in 1911. The Clarke-Mcnary Law (Act of June 7, 1924; 43 Stat. 653) This act continued the Federal cooperation started with the States under the Weeks law, which was superseded in that respect. It removed the limitation of protection to forested watersheds of navigable streams, provided for cooperation through the States with private forest owners, and added the important provisions contained in sections 3, 4, and 5 - for forest taxation studies, for cooperation with the States in the production and distribution of forest planting stock for windbreaks, shelter belts, and farm wood lots, and for cooperation in farm forestry extension. The following are the provisions of sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Clarke-McNary law: That the Secretary of Agriculture is hereby authorized and directed, in cooperation with appropriate officials of the various States or other suitable agencies, to recommend for each forest region of the United States such systems of forest fire prevention and suppression as will adequately protect the timbered and cut-over lands therein with a view to the protection of forest and water resources and the continuous production of timber on lands chiefly suitable therefor.
