Working with the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1933 was difficult due to the nature of the work, which involved long days and hard, dirty labor. The young men lived in quasi-military camps, which presented a challenging lifestyle away from home. Although they earned money to support their families and received meals, the strenuous physical demands and the conditions of camp life contributed to the challenges they faced while serving in the CCC.
The Men of the Corps
3 In 1933, thousands of young men came to serve in Franklin D. Roosevelt's conservation corps. They came from all over America--from the cities, small towns, and farms. These men opted for long days and hard, dirty work, living in quasi-military camps far from home. They earned money to send to their needy families, received three square meals a day, and escaped from idle purposelessness by contributing to the renewal and beautification of the country.What made working with the CCC difficult?
