Excerpt from Princeton Guide: Federal Writers' Project (Illinois), Works Progress Administration
Gradually, I learned to think of Princeton as my ideal of a middle western town.
For this reason I am particularly glad to have a hand in the preparation of this historical and descriptive guide book, which will present Princeton to interested readers throughout the state and nation, and will, I hope, contribute to increased appreciation Of the town, both abroad and at home.
