EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of young American men, shirtless and determined, as they march through the forest with shovels in hand. Taken in May 1940 at Camp Tomahawk, Wisconsin, this image is a testament to the hard work and resilience of Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) workers during the Great Depression. The CCC was a part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program aimed at providing employment opportunities for unemployed youth while also conserving natural resources. In this snapshot from history, we witness these dedicated individuals engaging in manual labor to improve their surroundings. With hats shielding them from the midday sun and mud clinging to their boots, these men epitomize determination and teamwork as they dig trenches or clear paths through dense foliage. The photo serves as a reminder of how communities came together during challenging times to rebuild America's infrastructure. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our nation's past struggles while celebrating the resilience that carried us forward. Let this image transport you back to an era when hard work was valued above all else – a time when ordinary citizens played an extraordinary role in shaping our country's future.
