In this time of COVID19, all non-profits are having a tough time with fund raising, the Evansville Grove Society included.  However, the Grove Society has been given a unique fundraising opportunity by Wisconsin author Robert J. Moore.  He has donated a limited number of copies of his book on The Civilian Conservation Corps in Rock County Wisconsin.  This 190 page book covers the 1933 camp located at the fairgrounds in Evansville and its activities.  This is his 4th book on the CCC and he is recognized as a well-respected researcher on the subject.
 
Robert J. Moore is a former high school American History teacher, who once taught in Verona, Wisconsin.  Prior to his retirement he was named American History Teacher of the Year by the Arizona chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).  Mr. Moore also served for eight seasons as an interpretive specialist/historian for the U.S. Forest Service in Arizona.  His research there dealing with the CCC resulted in his first book, The Civilian Conservation Corps in Arizona’s Rim Country.
 
Since relocating to Wisconsin, Mr. Moore has continued to research CCC history in the Midwest. His second book is Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin and the Civilian Conservation Corps.  He followed that in 2018 with The Civilian Conservation Corps in Mount Horeb, WI.  He has also written articles about the work of the CCC for the Wisconsin Magazine of History and the Illinois State Historical Society Journal.
