Joe Wegener correspondence
Manuscripts
The collection consists of 61 letters, 15 postcards, 7 pages from the Goldbrick Gossip, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) local newsletter of which Wegener was editor, and 1 newspaper clipping. All the letters and postcards, except two items, are from Wegener to Cecile Kingman, who lived in Alhambra, California. Writing from Camp Temescal and Mount Palomar, California, Wegener's letters offer a glimpse of life in the CCC. Wegener often writes about playing sports, typing reports, attending classes, playing the bugle, and his relationships with his fellow campers. After the CCC, Wegener writes about picking up odd jobs in Death Valley, California.
