- The Relief Work Crews -
This page is dedicated to the many unsung heroes.
Other photos in this series have depicted crews
of workers. As one can imagine, the hard work was relegated to the Black
workers.
A newly arrived group of Florida National
Guardsmen.
Quite a few CCC workers came to help their
fellow workers. The FERA veterans were not of the Civilian Conservation
Corps, primarily because of the younger age limit.
As mentioned before, Snake Creek remained the
center of relief efforts for some time. The white collar offices were in
Tavernier.
It must be either "chow" time, "beer" time or payday
at Snake Creek. Thanks are offered for the efforts of many whose names
have long been forgotten.
