It was 1934 and jobs were scarce. With so few prospects, Frank Davis, age 18, joined the Civilian Conservation Corps. For the next two years he would live and work in Western North Carolina. He, along with hundreds of other young men his age, worked to build hiking trails, roads, overlooks, and walls through the Smoky Mountain National Park. Those were the best and most important days of his life, a time when he matured, learned a trade, and met some of the finest people he has ever known. Relive those days of the Great Depression in these pages where Frank has recorded in vivid detail the experiences of those times―some harrying, many hilariously funny, but all memorable and exciting.

Frank Davis was born and reared in Mebane, North Carolina. After leaving the CCC, he married a young girl he met while there and had a child. He later moved to Norfolk, Virginia, where he got a job at the U.S. Naval Air Rework Facility. He retired from their Production Engineering Department in 1975.

A little disappointed that there was not enough info on the men who served with the CCC, it seemed to be more centered on one particular it seemed to me.

Any more stories you want to share?!?!

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2010

I picked this book up at the visitiors center inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on 12 October 2010. For some reason I have always had a fasination with the park, those who occupied it before it became a park and those who helped build it. The author does not appear to be a writer but does tell good stories! His recollection and account of events is detailed enough to paint the picture in your mind as he reminices about his fond memories of the CCC. I could see myself being the same as Frank if I were in the CCC.

As best as I can figure, as of this date Mr. Davis must be about ninety-four years old so he may or may not be alive today. I would love to meet him and hear some more of his stories. I am sure this book contains a very small fraction of them.

If you have an interest in the CCC, buy the book. It is worth it!

Thanks Mr. Davis for an entertaining book. Write another one.
