Download or read book The Civilian Conservation Corps Cookbook written by Amy Bizzarri and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civilian Conservation Corps was a voluntary government work relief program that offered nearly 3 million unemployed, unmarried men the job of restoring and conserving America's public lands, forests and parks. The wages weren't the only draw--the program also threw in three square meals a day served in the camp mess hall. The Civilian Conservation Corps Cookbook features the recipes that sustained not only the CCC during the Great Depression but also our grandparents and great-grandparents. Budget friendly, with ingredients that can easily be found--if not in your very own pantry then at your local grocer--these recipes reflect the "make do" attitude of Depression-era home cooks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Civilian Conservation Corps, one of the very first -- and very successful -- efforts of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidential administration, was created to put unemployed young men to work performing conservation and related activities during the depths of the great Depression while simultaneously striving to restore the bodies, minds, and spirits of the men themselves. During the nine years that the CC was in existence -- from 1933 to 1942 -- more than three million men planted billions of trees, erected hundreds of fire towers, constructed lakes and dams, blazed thousands of miles of trails, planned and graded roads, and built numerous cabins, lodges, shelters, bridges, and other structures. This work of the CCC placed a rich, distinct, and durable imprint on more than 700 local, state, and national parks throughout the United States -- and in the process created a personality of landscape that generations have sine come to recognize and appreciate as an inherent part of their -- and the nation's -- outdoor experience. 'Our Mark on This Land, ' identifies, describes, and provides access information to more than 300 parks spread throughout the United States that provide the best remaining examples of CCC workmanship. As such, it is a treasure trove of destinations at which the living legacy of the CCC may still be experienced -- and ever more at which the living legacy of the CCC may still be experienced -- and ever more at which the living legacy of the CCC may still be experienced -- and ever more fully appreciated for the recreational and historical importance of this program provided all who value and appreciate America's local, state, and national parks" -- p.4 of cover

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes accounts written by CCC workers *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "I propose to create [the CCC] to be used in complex work, not interfering with abnormal employment, and confining itself to forestry, the prevention of soil erosion, flood control and similar projects. I call your attention to the fact that this type of work is of definite, practical value, not only through the prevention of great present financial loss, but also as a means of creating future national wealth." - President Franklin D. Roosevelt In 1932, America faced an economic crisis even more severe than the one it has been experiencing recently. The issue then, as now, was how to address it. When President Franklin Roosevelt came into office, he faced more economic problems than any president since has ever faced, but he came equipped with unique and creative solutions to them. One of his most important programs was the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), which recruited and employed more than two million young men in the prime of life and put them to work in the much threatened forests and farms around the nation. He gave these young men jobs, something they could be proud of doing, and offered them a level of education many had been denied. The CCC also taught them discipline and teamwork, skills that easily translated into workplace success. In less than eight years, the CCC planted billions of trees, built thousands of cabins and other rustic buildings, cleared thousands of acres of land, and created thousands of miles of walking and hiking trails. In the process, it shaped the lives of millions of young men, many of whom were dangerously close to embracing a life of crime. It gave them work to do and taught them skills that could later be used in the workplace, but it also taught them to appreciate and care for the land they worked and lived on, inspiring an unprecedented level of admiration for the environment. A generation later, these men would tell their children stories of their work on the land, inspiring an explosion of interest in the environment in the 1960s, a passion that continues to this day. It's often wondered whether such a program would work today, but rather than see the CCC as an inspiration for something that could be done today, it is easier and probably more accurate to view it as an old-fashioned idea that worked in a world very different from the one we live in today. The Civilian Conservation Corps: The History of the New Deal's Famous Jobs Program during the Great Depression chronicles the New Deal program that employed millions and revitalized the nation's infrastructure at the height of the Great Depression. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the CCC like never before, in no time at all.
