Item description from seller

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. 1st edition. This copy is good in light green cloth with dark green titles on the spine and front cover. Ex-library, with typical library stamps and labels. The binding is loose but sound There is moderate scuffing and wear on the covers, and the spine edges are beginning to fray. The text is very clean and unmarked, other than the library stamps. It lacks the folding map in the rear pocket. but there is a state map on the front endpapers. First editions of this title are uncommon in the trade. . LB15.
