Thought the list would find the follow of interest. It is the roster for Company 5412 taken from the Official Annual of District "G", Fourth Corps Area, Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). This was my father's company. It includes the names of more than 170 men from Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida who served in this company. There are 31 companies listed in the annual, including 7 African-American companies. So the annual contains more than 6,000 names of those who served in CCC companies in 1936 in the northern Gulf Coast region of the three states. Unfortunately, I can't make all those names available -- at least not any time soon. But perhaps the annual is available elsewhere.

Mallett, CEA COMPANY 5412, recruited from the vicinity of Plant City, Arcadia, Bradenton, and other West Coast Florida towns, arrived on the scene of its CCC endeavors to find a camp site already constructed in the scrub pine sand hills of South Alabama, by a departing Second Corps Area outfit, Company 230, which had moved from Collins Cameron Uriah, Alabama, to Citronelle in June, 1935, and gone on to Winnemucca, Nevada, in July. Since that hot day in the middle of August 1935, Company 5412, has proceeded on the theory that, if it wanted anything, it had to be by concentrated effort. Finding that "life in the woods" could be made pleasant by getting things done, the Company produced the men who could turn the trick. At the time this is being written, every job but the three top kitchen ratings is held by some member of that band of raw conditioning camp recruits, who rolled off the train in Citronelle, after riding for two days and eating cheese sandwiches, and then conditioned in its civilian clothes for two weeks of drill and work. During the fall, the Company was finding itself and its capabilities, LEM's from the departed Company 230, and a cadre gathered from Youngstown, Florida, and Chunchula, Alabama camps held the ratings and "dished out" the instruction. An intensive and extensive camp beautification program was promptly inaugurated and is still being energetically prosecuted, materially aided by the fact that; several nurseries specializing in evergreens are situated in the surrounding country. Many an extra fatigue detail has toiled over the transplanting of shrubbery and has assisted in the uprooting and packing of shrubbery designed for beautification of neighboring camps and for the District "G" Headquarters at Fort Barrancas. Visitors to the camp always leave impressed by the beauty which has been wrought on the bare sand hill over which the Company buildings sprawl, in a large hollow square. Favorite sports are tennis, ping pong and swimming, with one tennis court in constant play and another in the process of building. Captain L. W. Pickett, 13th CA., and Lieutenant J.B. Webb, 39th Inf., the first officers, were succeeded by Captain Henry B. Hart and First Lieutenant Gaines E. Maxwell, both of the 310th Cav. Lieutenant Maxwell was transferred and replaced by 1st Lieutenant Harold W. Gourgues, Inf., CASC, Beauregarde and now, June 4, Captain Hart is turning the Company over to another cavalryman, 1st Lieutenant F.O. Rudesill, 31Q Cav. The Company was served for a short time by R.C. Carlisle, Educational Adviser, who was replaced early in February, 1936. Since that time John S. Mallett, an EEP teacher from Mobile, Alabama, has served in that capacity.
