The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a nationwide program during the Great Depression to put poor unemployed young men to work in national forests, state parks, national parks and the other public land. By the end of the program in 1942 over 30,000 Colorado men served. Many helped build the magnificent amphitheater at Red Rocks. Others labored on the picturesque Rimrock Drive at Colorado National Monument. And in every national forest in the state CCC enrollees built roads and trails, many that we still use today. In 1936 newspaper men L.A. Gleyre and C.N. Alleger toured the state visiting all thirty-nine CCC camps taking photographs, interviewing leaders, studying the work accomplished and compiling rosters of the enrollees and their leaders. Their book was a genuine slice of CCC life containing a two to three page history and photos of each camp. Their book has been long out of print and very rare. Now it is back in print again. And it includes a new index of over 7,000 personal names compiled by CCC historian Robert W. Audretsch. Many of the book's names are of Colorado men. However two thousand names are of men from other western states such as Oklahoma and Texas. Audretsch has written three books on the CCC in Arizona. His latest book is The Civilian Conservation Corps in Colorado, 1933-1942, Volume 1, (Dog Ear Publishing, 2017). He resides in Lakewood, Colorado.
