A fascinating and thorough annual for District "E" of the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1937. This volume documents documents and illustrates the work of dozens of CCC companies across Louisiana and Western Mississippi. Each company account in the present work contains a photo montage of the members at work and at leisure; a list of members, usually arranged according to the order of a group portrait; and a short history of the camp and project in which they were engaged. This edition contains "Addenda," which include not only additional notes on the histories of camps documented in the main section, but also full pictorial and textual accounts of eight segregated Black regiments that were engaged in projects across the district. We locate only one record for this publication at OCLC, at Nicholls State, which lacks the additional section on African-American CCC companies.
