The is the first public printing of any history of the Hiawassee companies, and in the lists of enrollees you will find many well-known names from Hiawassee, Young Harris and Blairsville in Georgia as well as Hayesville and Shooting Creek in North Carolina. The book includes a few digitally colorized photos as well as color photos of the remains of CCC structures outside the main camp area. Several of those photos are of a stone structure that is the remains of a hydroelectric plant located on a very unusual waterfall in the area.
