description: A Small Texas town named Kenedy played a pivotal role in America's recovery from depression and at times of World War. From 1918 to 1945, five camps at Kenedy metamorphosed to meet the needs of the country. Soldiers were trained at the site during WWI, and in the wake of the Great Depression, a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp (Camp J. M. Nichols) operated there. With the advent of a second world war, the facilities were restyled as a prison camp for alien detainees, German POWS, and Japanese POWs.
