At Work in Penn's Woods by Joseph M Speakman

At Work in Penn's Woods by Joseph M Speakman

The Civilian Conservation Corps was one of the most popular programs of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. At Work in Penn's Woods offers a compelling portrait of Pennsylvania's CCC program. Speakman draws on archival research in primary sources, including some source collections never used before, and on interviews with former CCC men.

“An excellent study of state history with national themes”

—P. D. Travis Choice

Joseph M. Speakman is Professor of History at Montgomery County Community College near Philadelphia. The inspiration for the book came from conversations Speakman had with his father, who served in Pennsylvania's CCC in 1933–34.
