Camp Kenedy (yes, this is the correct spelling) Texas: World War I Training Camp, Depression-Era CCC Camp, World War II Alien Detention Camp, German POW Camp, Japanese POW Camp. Austin: Eakin Press, 2003
 
Other states such as Alabama, Arkansas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona also have had CCC camp studies, including oral histories from men who were in the camps. Camp Kenedy was not the only CCC camp repurposed in WWII  as an alien detention camp; I think that Poston in Arizona had been a CCC camp before it became a Japanese internment camp. Reuse of these places would certainly affect the material culture. And speaking of mat cult, I would look in the US government document repositories in libraries or LexisNexis for information of government purchases for personal stuff such as toothbrushes, etc.
