It was 1935 and young Harry was out of work. So, he did what a lot of other young men were doing; he joined the CCCs. The Civilian Conservation Corps was a place to earn money, learn new skills, and stay out of trouble. A lot of men between the ages of 18 and 25 were doing that in those dark days of the Great Depression. Listen in as he tells of his experiences in the CCC camps in Central Idaho. Narrated by Jeff Hicks.
