Kathleen Duxbury is an author, historian and New Deal researcher with a focus on a quiet part of American art history - the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Art Projects. President Franklin Roosevelt personally approved sending "idle" artists into CCC camps to make a pictoral record of the greatest conservation movement in US history. It was an unusual New Deal work program administered by a special section within the Treasury Department and adaptly managed by the Section's Assistant Technical Director, Edward B. Rowan,
a friend and defender of struggling New Deal artists.
