About this Item

The Federal Writers' Project (FWP) was a federal government project in the United States created to provide jobs for out-of-work writers and to develop a history and overview of the United States, by state, cities and other jurisdictions. It was launched in 1935 during the Great Depression. It was part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal program. It was one of a group of New Deal arts programs known collectively as Federal Project Number One or Federal One. FWP employed thousands of people and produced hundreds of publications, including state guides, city guides, local histories, oral histories, ethnographies, and children's books. In addition to writers, the project provided jobs to unemployed librarians, clerks, researchers, editors, and historians. This copy is very good in brown cloth with black titles on the spine. Ex-library with typical stamps and labels. The binding is quite sound. Just very light wear. The text is very clean and unmarked, other than the library stamps. There was apparently no folding map included in this reprint edition. . LB15.
