Description ▲
During the 1930s, a New Deal program known as the Federal Writer's Project hired scores of indigent writers to produce a series of guides to the States. What they came up with is a spirited, evocative study of local histories, quirks and customs. O'Gara sets out to retrace the steps of these writers and to find out what is left of the America they described. Photos.
