Date:
undated
Description:
Th men in army uniforms were in control of the (approximately) 175 men at the camp. The other men were from the U.S. Forest Service and were in charge of men at work clearing the right of way for the dam. No funds were appropriated for the construction of Bluestone Dam, so the C.C.C. Co. 524 was cancelled and all men were transferred to other C.C.C. camps in West Virginia
Uniformed soldiers, holding the American and West Virginian flags, are trailed by marching band members make their way through the streets of Hinton as spectators look on from the sidewalks.
