>	This is in response to your request for information about the records
>	of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), specifically whether or not
>	there were any CCC camps in Hancock County, Mississippi.
>	We began by searching the online camp listing at the CCC Legacy
>	website, http://cccleqacy.org/camps mississippi.htm We found one listing
>	for Company 1404 at Camp P-52 in Bay St. Louis. Checking the camp
>	records we have here, we found there was topographical error and the
>	company number is actually 1484 and they were stationed at Camp P-52,
>	Camp Jeff Davis, located 15 miles north of Bay St. Louis. They were
>	engaged in road-building, fire trail construction, and running telephone
>	lines through Hancock and surrounding counties. The camp opened on June
>	25, 1933 we have no further record of it after the summer of 1935. We
>	presume it closed at sometime shortly thereafter.
>	We hope that this information is of assistance to you. If you have any
>	further questions, please feel free to respond by return e-mail or by
>	calling (301) 837-1993.
