| "My best friend and I enrolled in the C.C.C. at our local post office. Within two weeks we were sent to Fort Dix, New Jersey for a medical, which we both passed. We learned that we would be working at Battle Mountain, Nevada. We were sent home to gather our clothes and inform our parents of where we were going, how long we would be there, and any other necessary information that they might have needed to know. Later that week, we rode across country by train to Nevada."
--Dominick Gadamowitz For many young men, the CCC was their first experience away from home. Boys from cities and small towns found themselves living in tent camps and barracks in different parts of the country. They made friendships that often lasted a lifetime. |
