The New Deal and the story of a New Mexican family
|
New Mexico has more than 300 buildings and other structures built by the Works Progress Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps nearly a century ago. These buildings include courthouses, schools, women’s clubs and some structures and trails on National Parks and Monuments such as those at Bandelier National Monument and Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The CCC and WPA could not have been successful without the people working for them. One of these workers was Donald C. Woolsey of Comanche, Texas, father of Joann Tally of Alamogordo. “Daddy did everything to support America,” Tally said.
