Paul Rietzke Civilian Conservation Corps Photographs, 1939-1940

Twenty-one black and white photographs of Civilian Conservation Corps camps and their projects in Idaho, where Paul Rietzke worked. Named locations seem to revolve around Sage Hen Reservoir, with other identified locations including Rainbow Bridge, Ola, Garden Valley, Timber Point, and Gardena. No dates are given, but based on a line in Paul’s obituary that he joined the CC at age 17 as well as further dates in his life, these are almost certainly within 1939-1940.

Envelope 1 is items identified as being at Sage Hen Reservoir. Envelope 2 has items with any other noted location (Gardena, Garden Valley, Ola, Rainbow Bridge, Timber Point). Envelope 3 contains items lacking any specific location, and also happens to include all images where individuals are identified. All images have handwritten descriptions on the back, written by Paul Rietzke, but no dates are given.
