All this makes me wonder if I had any relatives that served in the CCC. When money ran short in the 1920s, my uncles went to farm in Ohio (from South Carolina), but by the time of the CCC one of them, and his whole family, was busy trying to farm in exile--he began exactly in 1933. <br /><br />But there's the other side of the family. I'll try. I imagine the South could have used the CCC right after the Civil War, when so many were ruined.Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.com
