Pale green paper covers with some soiling and foxing/toning; scuffs at edges and along spine fold; some ink smudging at center of rear cover; mild surface abrasion at front cover's upper right from removal of sticker. Pages 6-7 are blank but should have text per the abrupt mid-sentence ending to page 5 prose and non-sequitur mid-sentence start on page 8. Also pages 2-3, 26-27, and 30-31 are blank but without glaring evidence of missing text, i.e. sentences end and start on adjacent pages.

22 pages including covers. Staple-bound paperback: H 28cm x L 21.75cm. Toned paper covers with slight wear at edges and along spine fold. Interior toning as well with some brittleness to paper. Front cover features compare-contrast illustration of a seated disgruntled and idle veteran of 1932 versus presumably the same veteran in 1936 now smiling and standing upright with left arm raised as an employed surveyor; illustration is signed "Enright" at bottom right (no further credit provided) which matches the signature of political cartoonist Walter J. "Pat" Enright (1879-1969) who, in the 1920s and early 1930s, worked for the New York Evening World and the New York American thereafter working for the Miami Herald from 1933-1943 and the Palm Beach Post from 1943-1948. Interior content mostly comprised of 1932 photos on versos juxtaposed against 1936 images on opposing rectos as a then-versus-now evidence of American economic improvements presumably printed in advance the 1936 federal elections. The left-side 1932 images show strife-ridden scenes of unemployed WWI American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) veterans during events of the 1932 Great Bonus March on Washington, DC whereas the right-side 1936 images show veterans enrolled in WPA and CCC public works projects such as levee construction, national forest improvements, flood assistance, etc. Bottom binding staple appears to be missing; center and top staples have varying rust but binding is holding.

Soft cover. Condición: Fine. August, 1940. 27 cm. 16, 22 pages. July and August, 1940 issues of this CCC camp newsletter, in fine condition. Extremely rare. An interesting look into the activities of this camp.

54 loose-leaf cards laid-in an olive folder, H 10.25cm x L 15.25cm. Folder and 43 cards are two hole punched so that rings (which are not present) could bind the cards allowing for quick flip-over reference; 11 cards do not have hole punches - coincidently the folder holes align quite nicely with the 43 cards but do not align when the other eleven are inserted so perhaps those were added as a later lagniappe. Light ring impression to at top left hole of Introduction card but otherwise cards are quite clean and evidently never suffered the ill effects of a sloppy mess hall kitchen. Most but not all cards have a Kellogg product (i.e. Corn Flakes, Pep, Rice Krispies, Whole Wheat Biscuit, etc.) in a recipe or a menu selection. Summer and Fall menu cards at rear (none for Winter or Spring). OCLC locates copies at two member institutions but evidently both are Winter/Spring Menu versions and not Summer/Fall. Acquired via an intermediary from the remarkable collection of Alabama archaeologist and CCC historian Robert Pasquill Jr.…

Soft cover. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. 29 cm. A nearly complete run of newsletters for this interesting camp for Veterans. From the Nebraska Historical Society: "While most CCC camps enrolled young men, Camp Platte's Company 1782V consisted of World War I veterans and a few Spanish-American War veterans whose average age was 46. Throughout the 1930s the men planted trees and grasses and built terraces and check dams to help control soil erosion in Platte and Colfax counties. The camp was built near the Groteluschen farm primarily due to a nearby artesian well, which was credited for the excellent health the middle-aged veterans enjoyed. Recognizing the men's previous military service, the camp newsletter was named the "Veterans Company Chronicle." There are around 100 issues of the newsletter. The first issue is dated January, 1935 and the last December, 1941. The first issues are monthly, then weekly, then every other week and finally monthly again. The very first issue (December, 1934) is lacking. There may be other issues lacking, but this is certainly the compilation of one of the camp officials, perhaps the official collection of the camp. OCLC notes that the Nebraska Historical Society has microfilmed copies (including the first issue), but may lack some issues found in this collection.Some toning and wear. All of the issues bound together with a military style clip which I remember well from my Army days.…
