Donor: Lloyd Mielke
The first major statue produced to honor the CCC was a statue titled “Spirit of the CCC,” later nicknamed “Iron Mike.” A Works Progress Administration (WPA), Federal Art Project sculptor, Uno John Palokangas (known as John Palo-Kangas), was assigned to Camp #1917-V (WWI Veterans Camp), SP-21. The art work in this statue is referred to as art-deco and is typical of the art of that period. The model for this statue was Robert J. Pauley of Carmichael, California. Mr. Pauley was a veteran of WWI and was about 38 years old at the time.
The statue was unveiled by President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the dedication on October 1, 1935 at CCC Company 1917 in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California.
A bronzed colored plaster of the park model was exhibited at the CCC exhibition camp in Balboa Park in San Diego, California and was dedicated on May 19, 1936 by James J. McEntee, Assistant Director of the CCC.
Both statues have disappeared.
