About This Item
San Diego, California: The San Diego Historical Society, 1937. 1st edition. Soft Cover. Very Good. 1st edition. A Very Good copy. 8vo., x, 138 pp., illustrated with b&w photographs, and a large folding map at the rear. Orange and brown stiff paper wraps. Light soiling and wear to the wraps. Front end paper beginning to fox. Part of the publisher's series, American Guide Series. During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers' Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country's shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors-many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state's unique flavor.
