Carol Nash:
  I just remembered I have some data here at home.  Perhps you already know
about these:
  Foxfire Magazine, 1982 Vol 16, No 4; and 1983, Vol 17, No 1.  Both  had
articles on the CCC.

McEntee, J.J.
1942   Federal Secutiry Agency Final Report of the Director of the Civilian
Conservation Corps, April 1933, through June 30, 1942.  Typescript.

Throop, Elizabeth Gail
1979  "Utterly Visionary and Chimerical: a Federal Response to the
Drpression.  an Examination of Civilian Conservation Corps Construction on
the National Forest Systems Lands in the Pacific Northwest."  Unpublished MA
Thesis in History, Portland Oregon, Portlan State University.

There was also a picture book called "The Tree Army, a History of the CCC,"
but I don't remember who wrote or published it.   it's at least 25-30 years
old.

There was also a Forest Service publication on the CCC activities on the
National Forests a few years ago.  That may still be in print.  If not, the
Forest Archaeologists at your nearest Forest Supervisor's office should have
a copy.   Call Mike Barber or George Tolley at Blacksburg, and see.

Hope these are a little more help!
cheers,  jack wynn
