About the Crater Lake NP Oral
History Series
Interviewer: Stephen R. Mark,
Crater Lake National Park Historian
Interview
Location and Date:
At Earl Wall's residence in
Jacksonville, Oregon, March 17, 1989
Transcription:
Transcribed by Chris Prout, July 1997
Biographical
Summary (from the interview introduction)
CCC enrollee 1934. I located Earl Wall through Larry
Smith, who had been interviewed during the previous month for this series.
Although his term of employment at Crater Lake was relatively short, Mr. Wall’s
memory was sharp and he provided valuable insight into several parks projects
undertaken during 1934. His account, along with several others in this series,
should be read collectively to obtain some idea of life as a Civilian
Conservation Corps enrollee during the depths of the Great Depression.
The following transcription is brief,
but supplemented by notes taken during a telephone conversation which preceded
the interview.
