New York: A Guide To The Empire State - Hardcover

by Federal Writers' Project (Fwp) (Author), Works Project Administration (Wpa) (Author)

During the Great Depression of the 1930s thousands of writers were hired by the Works Project Administration to create hundreds of guidebooks on all of the states in the U.S. These volumes that were produced became known as the American Guide Series. This series has been described as the biggest, fastest and most original research job in the history of the world. No library collection in New York would be complete without a copy of New York: A Guide To The Empire State.
