"FDR - Saving a Generation: The Three C's," is a mixture of fact
and fiction (faction) based on Lawrence E. Rapson's three tours of
duty in Northern Michigan's Civilian Conservation Corps. Eleanor
Roosevelt stated that the Civilian Conservation Corps "saved a
generation of young men." For only one dollar a day, the men of The
Civilian Conservation Corps planted millions of trees; cleared
swamplands, built fire roads, dug drainage ditches, stocked fish in
rivers and streams, and did many other difficult jobs to prevent
erosion and provide a better environment for their generation and
for future generations. The boys came into the Civilian
Conservation Corps as starving waifs and left as strong, healthy,
independent men. Our children's children will live in a better
world because of the environmental impact made by the Civilian
Conservation Corps.
