Thirty dollars a month, twenty-five of it sent home. From 1933 to 1942, about three million young men joined the Civilian Conservation Corps. They planted billions of trees, built more than 800 parks, and learned to read by lamplight. The story starts on a rainy mountainside in Virginia, on the first night of the first camp.
