Moore (1859 a 1941) was a Fairfax politician, Virginia State Senator, US Representative for the 8th District, and New Dealer. He served as Assistant Secretary of State in the Roosevelt administration. The American Guide Series was a group of books and pamphlets published under the auspices of the Federal Writers' Project (FWP), a Depression-era works program in the United States. The American Guide Series books were compiled by the FWP, but printed by individual states, and contained detailed histories of each state with descriptions of every city and town.http://gestmase.com/media/images/bulldog-security-installation-manual.xml

Ted Lieu (D-Torrance) has now drafted a bill to reinvent the Project. From 1935 to 1943 the FWP produced well-written, still-delightful guide books to 48 states, most major cities and U.S. territories. It also recorded oral histories of Americans from coast to coast—including Zora Neale Hurston’s groundbreaking interviews with formerly enslaved people. Writers as diverse as John Cheever, Ralph Ellison, Saul Bellow and Richard Wright got their starts on the Project. I can make the case for a reinvented FWP til I’m blue in the face, but I’m really only trying to convince to convince 536 people—federal legislators to pass the bill, and President Biden to sign it. Some of those marks will be pushovers. The rest could be murder. But they damn well care about what their constituents think of them. They have to if they want to keep their jobs. Which is where, I hope, you come in. If you’re feeling frisky, throw in a local or statewide news outlet, too. These days, somehow, we’ve all got so much unstructured time that it feels like we have none at all. But believe me, coming from you, letters like these will be read, and they will count. The librarians of Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, heaven bless them, have aggregated this list of links.While you’re at it, flag a passage or two that you think the readers of your letters might appreciate. And if ransacking the entire 700-page California Guide, for example, strikes you as daunting, by all means consult this indispensable treasury of good WPA writing culled from all the state guides. However you do it, when you write your letters, quote from a passage or two from an original guide. This will help to make the original FWP come alive on a regional level for people who don’t know the first thing about it—and if you feel like it, by all means loop me in.http://ophirtonhotel.co.za/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/16289d9b73bd38---canon-es8400v-manual.pdf If you’re writing to a member of Congress, you might cite an especially lyrical or wry description or passage about their district. If you’re writing to a newspaper editor, maybe send an anecdote about some crusading frontier journalist in their vicinity who got themselves horsewhipped for their trouble. Whoever wrote it, Congressman Jimmy Panetta (D-Carmel) would probably get a big kick out of it. It would provide good, well-paying hard work for idle college graduates and laid-off workers (some of them journalists—but you can leave that part out.) In addition to the professionals, the original FWP also employed about six thousand destitute men and women who could, maybe, put a sentence together, but had zero related work experience when hired. If it helps, picture your senator or member of Congress handing out these guides to office visitors like cigars. (If the eventual published guides provide too candid a picture of your region, by then it will be too late). The Federal Writers’ Project lives on, too—in the American Guides, in the works of the great writers it launched and sustained, and in its priceless oral histories—an art form that the Project more or less invented. If America needed it then, we sure as hell need it now. You can find your senator at. You can find your local opinion editor at their newspaper or radio station’s website. But hurry. The news desert you irrigate may be your own. The individual state guides were meant, as he noted, to “illustrate our national way of life, yet at the same time portray variants in local patterns of living and regional development.” Several now-famous American authors got their start working for the FAP. Richard Wright, Eudora Welty, and Zora Neale Hurston were among those who survived the Great Depression as writers of the American Guides. They were a careful and inquisitive bunch with a wide range of talents and interests. The wealth of knowledge conveyed in each guide is astonishing.www.corwell.co.uk/userfiles/files/98-chevy-blazer-service-manual.pdf From architectural history, economic research, fishing and hunting, folklore, regional foods, cooking, Native American history, literature, regional language differences, botany, geology, race relations, labor movements, to women’s rights—there was someone at the FAP who could write with authority on it. In that pre-internet era, finding the WPA guides presented quite a challenge. It took me nearly five years searching used bookstores around the country to amass a complete set of the 48 state guides and many regional and city guides—most of them first editions. Written in a lively and approachable style, they detail and celebrate the rich diversity of the country at that time. The writers’ enthusiasm is infectious and their guides are as much fun to read today as they must have been for travelers in the 1930s. After completing my MFA I found the time to travel and decided to use the guides as inspiration for where to go. Going back to their delightful melange of cultural and historical essays and suggested back roads seemed a wonderful way to explore the country. Reportedly John Steinbeck hit the road with the WPA guides when he embarked on a 10,000-mile road trip with his poodle in 1960, memorialized in his travelogue Travels With Charley: In Search of America. Remarkably, much along the routes remains unchanged, at least in the places I have visited so far. Yet, much has changed—some things for the better, others distinctly not. Old houses in Maine that were derelict in the 1930s are now beautifully restored homes for wealthy summer residents. Once sleepy towns and small cities are today engulfed by sprawl and strip malls. The encouragement that the guides gave to sightseeing by automobile—tourism being a way to lift the economy—now seems positively regrettable, cars being no longer a novelty but a bane. At the time Idaho had less than half a million residents and few people were planning to go there. Not only do the guides provide invaluable historical source material and interesting routes for tourists, they also express trenchant but subtle criticism of injustice in our country. The writers exposed racism, anti-unionism, poverty, and inequality when they saw it. Without comment, they let the statistics speak for themselves. But their message was clear: this country could and should do better by its people. So far, I have completed eight photo essays with the guides as a travel companion. I cannot think of a better way to see this country. Over the last decade, university presses and other publishers have rediscovered the value of these well-researched, vividly written and wide-ranging guidebooks. Though the books are now 70 years old, “they are no more obsolete than any other great works of American literature,” says David Kippen, who wrote introductions to the recently reprinted WPA guides to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Like other WPA arts projects, the American Guide Series had multiple goals. It employed out-of-work writers, fostered a sense of local pride, and promoted much-needed tourism. While the federal government paid the salaries of some 6,000 writers of the series, each state was responsible for printing and distributing the books. Major cities, large towns, and characteristic regions were discussed in detail, and sometimes embellished with cultural trivia and regionalist charm Readers could find out, for example, that Mays Landing, New Jersey is the national capital of nudism; that Nevadans like to eat at lunch counters; and that the favorite names for Tennessee coon dogs are Drum, Ring, Gum, and Rip. Many of the guides had annotated “motor tours” and some were exclusively dedicated to destinations, such as “Ghost towns of Colorado,” and “The Ocean Highway: New Brunswick, New Jersey to Jacksonville, Florida.” A condensed, more portable size was subsequently published. Indeed these guidebooks remain useful and entertaining. They offer, in Kippen’s words, “a keepsake of all that’s lost, a Baedeker to how much survives, and an example of what writers and America once did for each other, and might again.” Why are you interested in the Living New Deal? Take a look at our previous guides, equally comprehensive, covering key New Deal sites in San Francisco and New York City. First edition.

To keep the spirit of adventure going all month long, may I humbly offer this look into the Writers' Project Series Guides to the United States. The Library holds 296 titles in the series, and many can also be found digitally on Hathi Trust, Google Books, or the Internet Archive. Below, fun facts and select image collages collected along the way, representing all fifty states. Enjoy the ride. A number of the Guides have been re-issued, with revisions to address this and other concerns, in the decades since. A revised edition edited by Alyce Billings Walker was published in 1975, and a third variation, The WPA Guide to 1930s Alabama —which references the 1975 text and includes a new introduction by Henry H. Jackson III as well as the 1941 text—came in 2000. The Guide shows Alabamans at work in industry (steel, coal, cotton and wood mills) and the Farm Security Administration. Features sections on Alaskan misconceptions and state legends, and Chinook expressions. Alaska did not have many roads when this Guide was written, making it unusual in a series devoted to car travel. Includes portraits of Arkansans and eighteen tours across the Ozarks to the Gulf Coastal Plain. NYPL's Milstein copy was formerly owned by Carl Van Vechten, and has his original book plate. Cripple Creek, Cattle Country, the Continental Divide. Ouray, Zebulon Pike, and unnamed San Pablo beet field workers. Includes seven tours of Rocky Mountain National Park and three tours of Mesa Verde National Park. The section on industry is now a time capsule, as manufacturers relocated in the decades following publication. Augustine) and Seminole lands in the Everglades, all decades before Disney. Historically black colleges and universities are mentioned, if briefly; appendices include a list of Georgia counties and the individuals for whom most of them are named. Includes essays on the state's institutions of higher education. With an introductory essay by Kansan writer William Allen White. Features a ten-page section on cuisine. Features special sections on Annapolis and Baltimore. Michigan: a Guide to the Wolverine State. Look for the chapter headers and other drawings by George Wallace of the Federal Art Project of Minnesota. Look for photos from Piaget studio, Thomas Hart Benton murals, and Mark Twain references. It offers eighteen excursions, in addition to ten trail tours of Glacier National Park. Nevada's Guide features two sections on jargon—for mining slang and livestock industry lingo—in addition to photographs that highlight the state's wildlife and recreational options. Profusely illustrated with portraits of North Carolinians, landscapes, historic illustrations, and architectural photography. Sections spotlight the state's settlement, and the role of religion, arts, the press, and industrial output. Fun fact: a sizeable muskrat farm was listed as a notable attraction outside tiny Salem, Ohio. Special sections focus on Choctaw, Cherokee, and other Native Americans; with an essay by Edward Everett Dale. Bonus: recipe for huckleberry griddle cakes. Don't miss the Mitchell Corn Palace, built 1921 by theatre architects Rapp and Rapp. Look for the section on architecture. Includes a brief description of The Greenbrier resort, before it functioned as a protective underground bunker to house Congress in the event of a nuclear apocalypse. This one weighs in at four pounds, and, at 1,140 pages, is also the longest Guide. Legend has it that Franklin Delano Roosevelt disapproved of the book's length and heft. March 24, 2015.

Gain access to digital resources for all ages, including e-books, audiobooks, databases, and more.” Perhaps the most unique aspect of Meridian Hill Park is the drum circle, which happens during the warmer times of the year at 3 PM on Sundays. Strangers and friends from around the city gather ’round with drums and just beat away to a common pace. Is it totally weird? Absolutely. But it’s a DC local thing and it’s pretty freakin’ awesome to watch (or participate in). Chill by the river (or on the river) In recent years, DC has really upped its river walk game. For ages, the king of river walking areas in DC was in historic Georgetown, which is full of upscale restaurants, cute dessert shops, and people posing for Instagram selfies on parked sailboats in the sunset. Georgetown is a cute and colorful area to wander around and catch a glimpse of the Potomac River. Home to Georgetown University, this neighborhood combines the “university town” vibe with the history of being one of DC’s oldest standing neighborhoods. In fact, the oldest house in Washington DC is here, and you can even peek inside. You might run into some impromptu waterside activities too, like tango dancing or a street festival. Recently, DC recently opened its newest river hangout area, the Wharf, which is giving Georgetown a run for its money. The Wharf is located next to the up-and-coming Navy Yard area and is full of new shops, restaurants, and The Anthem, a live music venue that hosts amazing artists many nights a week. Head to La Vie for a bite to eat ( the crab cakes rock! ) and great drinks in a relaxed atmosphere with waterfront views. If you’re up for a sunset stroll, a bite to eat, or a morning run with beautiful views of the river, both Georgetown and the Wharf are wonderful places to go. You can also take a boat tour of Washington DC, many which are cruise-style boats that offer lunch or dinner while you view the city from the unique perspective of the Potomac.
