Browse TopicLand, Environment, and Natural ResourcesSubjectCivilian Conservation Corps (U.S.)--Arizona--HistoryDescriptionArchie Sosebee, from Seneca, South Carolina, was a cook, tour guide, camp newspaper reporter, and orchestra member while a CCC enrollee at Colossal Cave. He is reported to have run a small poultry-raising business in camp. Here, in his going-to-town clothes, he poses on the CCC-built retaining wall next to Colossal Cave. The U.S. Army would drive the enrollees into Tucson on the weekends so they could attend dances, see movies, attend church services, and visit the young ladies.
