B&W glossy print: road crew working
Backside text reads: A crew of CCC workers at the construction site for the Whitney Portal Road, circa 1934-1938. "Our main job was road building", the CCC enrollees recalled.
Forest Service Personnel survey the work done by the Civilian Conservation Corps men along the Whitney Portal Road. The Dept. of Army supervised the CCC camp and provided logistics for the camp. Inyo National Forest personnel supervised the crews working on the road each day and returned them to camp each night.
