| On April 23, 1933, 1st Lt. Malcolm F. Reed was the second US Army reserve officer to be called to active duty to serve with the Civilian Conservation Corps. He moved his family to Duhring, PA and established the second camp in the United States at Pigeon, PA.
By April 25, 1933, temporary tent emplacements were being installed at Camp ANF-1, Company 318 at Pigeon, PA. By the time winter came that year, 3 barracks and a mess hall had been constructed. Before the winter of 1934 came, 3 more barracks and the camp garage had been constructed. On November 14, 1934, 1st Lt. Malcolm F. Reed was promoted to Captain. On June 26, 1935, Capt. Reed and half of company 318 moved to a site northwest of Sheffield, PA and established Camp ANF-13, Company 2319.
Most of the photos from my father=s records were in old style photograph albums. Some were 2 2@ x 4" while others were 2" x 3" prints which would indicate that they were from, what was called at that time, box cameras and they may have been personal photographs. Most camps, at least later on in the CCC program, taught photography and took official photographs for the camp; however, most of the photographs in the albums were developed commercially as indicated by numerical roll identification numbers on the back of the print.
