I appreciate your willingness to share. ~CarmenCarmen Peonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702324268357337999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33707220.post-15778015536094459472014-11-24T04:30:09.406-08:002014-11-24T04:30:09.406-08:00HI, I'm glad to know I'm in good company a...HI, I'm glad to know I'm in good company as a fan of archives.

I used the 1933 forest ranger's report on the work projects done by the CCCs to bring factual history into my story. The photographs, official letters, lists has also given me the knowledge to present public programs on my novel's background.historywriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646517639758524668noreply@blogger.com
