lost in the woods–the legacy of

ccc camp pelican


by James D. Henderson


Between 1933 and 1942 forty-five hundred Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps were built across America. Young unemployed men 17 to 23 years of age were offered work in these camps. Nearly all of the camps were dismantled following their closure. One of these was Camp Pelican which has been “lost in the woods” for 70 years. The book provides a detailed description of a State Forest Service CCC camp in Crow Wing County, Minnesota. Built in 1935, the camp could house up to 200 enrollees and staff. Through interviews with camp members and their descendents, CCC camp newspapers, and historical documents from government files, the author recreates what life was like for members of Company 4751 at Camp Pelican. The book includes over 200 high quality black & white and color photos taken by camp members. An overview of the CCC in Minnesota is followed by descriptions of camp buildings, biographical sketches of enrollees and staff, discipline and rules, work projects, health and safety, education and camp activities. A unique chapter describes what it was like to be a lumberjack in Minnesota's north woods in the early 1900s. An index of names allows the reader to easily find camp members mentioned in the book. Over 600 individuals that resided at Camp Pelican between 1935 and 1938 are listed in camp rosters. A never before published collection of CCC insignia in full color is an extra bonus.  Softcover, 9 x 6.5 inches, 227 pages.
