Description

"The YCHS Newsletter for January and for February of 2009 appealed for society members to fill out a form reporting on New Deal projects that they knew of personally or in which members of their families participated:"

"Betty Mae Haines tells of projects in the Capay Valley. 'Many men were employed from Esparto to Rumsey. I knew many. I think my father may have worked on it and maybe other family members. Anyone and everyone had a job.' Particularly, they worked on 'the bridge above Rumsey on the way to Clear Lake.'"
