    • TRIVIA (1)

      ADD TRIVIA

      • One of the major concerns about the Civilian Conservations Corps (and other "New Deal" projects) was that it shifted the focus away from existing businesses and created new endeavours that were only sustainable by taxpayer dollars.

    • QUOTES (1)

      ADD QUOTES

      • Jonathan Alter (writer): Roosevelt believed that work was ultimately more important than relief. He wanted to put people to work as quickly as possible. The Civilian Conservation Corps was really the first of several job programs that Roosevelt developed, but the "CCC" was very close to his heart.

    • NOTES (1)

      ADD NOTES

      • Unlike the other installments in the "1930s" series, this episode is a new production and is a first airing. It focuses on four members of the Corps who recollect their experiences.
