Fort Necessity Civilian Conservation Corps Camp SP-12
Sypolt LN. 1988. Fort Necessity Civilian Conservation Corps Camp SP-12
This paper is meant to be an administrative history of the Civilian Conservation Corps at Camp SF-12, Fort Necessity, Farmington, PA. The CCC camp at Fort Necessity existed for only two and one-half years, from June 1935, through December 1937. This oral history project was conducted with people who served the CCC program at Fort Necessity during those years. I have gotten interviews from a camp advisor, camp military officer, local experienced man, work leader and enrollees, the purpose of which was to get an idea of what this experience meant to people at all levels. The first section opens with a brief overview of the CCC program in general. No attempt was made here to tell its whole story, as many books have already been written on the subject. This overview is followed by the administrative history at Fort Necessity, with papers following that are of particular interest to the camp. The second section contains the edited transcripts of the interviews. It is followed by some written interviews sent by people some distance away or who were not available for an oral interview. A list of questions is contained with their answers.
