They Came to Work In The Woods–A Pictorial History Of The Civilian Conservation Corps Company 1608 by Scott and James Henderson provides a detailed description of a state forest service CCC camp near Tomahawk, Wisconsin. Built in 1933, 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 Through interviews with camp members and their descendents, CCC camp newspapers, and historical documents from government files and county historical societies, the authors recreate what life was like at Camp Tomahawk. The book includes 245 high quality black and white photos taken by camp members. An overview of the CCC in Wisconsin is followed by descriptions of camp buildings, biographical sketches of enrollees and staff, health and safety practices, work projects, education and camp activities. A final chapter describes the camp’s closure, the disposition of buildings and subsequent reunions held by former enrollees. An extensive glossary provides details about individuals associated with Camp Tomahawk and the CCC during the 1930s in Lincoln and Oneida counties. Over 1,100 individuals that resided at Camp Tomahawk between 1933 and 1941 are listed in the camp roster. An index allows the reader to easily find camp members mentioned in the book. A foldout page provides the reader with a panoramic view of the camp. Softcover, 11 ¼ x 9 in., 272 pages. First printing September 2015 by PelMar Publishing, Ltd. 7350 North Longview Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53209 ISBN 978-0-692-37266-1.
