During the course of the Great Depression, over six thousand writers were hired by the Works Progress Administration to create a series of state travel guidebooks known as the American Guide Series. Produced between 1935 and 1943, these collections documented the history of a state, along with cultural, political, and social information on its 1930’s conditions, thereby providing today’s researchers and historians with an invaluable source of primary historical information not found elsewhere. Massachusetts: A Guide to its Places and People includes maps, photographs, and essays that cover this unique period in American history, and is a wonderful addition to any collection of state history materials.
