In the 1930s, at the height of the Great Depression, the federal government put thousands of unemployed writers to work in the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Out of their efforts came the American Guide series, the first comprehensive guidebooks to the people, resources, and traditions of each state in the union.
Norman K. Risjord, professor emeritus of history at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, is author of Wisconsin: The Story of the Badger State and A Popular History of Minnesota (MHS Press).
