Download or read book The WPA Guide to Nevada written by Federal Writers' Project and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. America’s Silver State takes the gold in the WPA Guide to Nevada. Originally published in 1940, the guide features the newly built Hoover Dam (then called the Boulder Dam), the Great Basin, the many caves in the eastern part of the state, the state’s several ghost towns, and an engaging essay of one of Nevada’s more important industries—“Mining and Mining Jargon.”

Book excerpt: When Las Vegas boasted two motion picture theatres and the University of Nevada student population reached a high of twelve hundred, the original edition of The WPA Guide to 1930s Nevada was just coming off the press. First published in 1940 as Nevada: A Guide to the Silver State, part of the Work Projects Administration's American Guide Series, the book remains one of Nevada's premier tour and travel volumes. The WPA Guide to 1930s Nevada includes material on the state's geography and geology, plant and animal life, churches and schools. The native population is discussed, as are the arts, mining, ranching, press, sports, and recreation during the 1930s. The period photographs spread throughout the volume give an excellent picture of Nevada in the early part of the twentieth century and complement the profiles of thirty cities and eight detailed tour descriptions that follow the pattern of the major highway through the state.

Book excerpt: 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.

Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The guide to California stands out among the rest of the WPA guides for the quality of its writing, photographs, and pen-and-ink drawings. The Golden State contains much diversity of people, places, and things, and the WPA Guide expertly reflects and records the eclectic quality of this quintessentially American state. Published in 1939, the guide’s essays on history cover everything from the gold rush to the movie industry at the nascence of Hollywood’s golden age, and its back-road tours through California's coastal fishing villages and mountain mining towns still provide a splendid alternative to freeways.

This book was released on with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the Silver State of Nevada! Nevada is a state in the western United States known for its desert landscapes, casinos, and entertainment venues in the famous city of Las Vegas. But there's a lot more to Nevada than just gambling and entertainment. This travel book invites you to discover the many facets of the Silver State and to collect unforgettable experiences. Nevada is a state full of history, culture, and nature. It is named after the Spanish word "nevada", which means "snowy". In fact, there are many mountain ranges in Nevada that are covered in snow in the winter. The history of the state dates back to the Native Americans and European explorers who came in search of silver and gold in the 19th century. Today, Nevada is known for its world-class entertainment and stunning nature. Las Vegas is arguably the most well-known tourist destination in Nevada, attracting millions of visitors annually. The city is famous for its casinos, shows, restaurants, and nightlife. It is a symbol of gambling and entertainment and is often referred to as "the city that never sleeps". But Las Vegas is also a good starting point to explore the surrounding area, including Lake Mead, Red Rock Canyon, and the Hoover Dam. In addition to Las Vegas, Nevada is home to many other cities and towns worth seeing that offer history and culture. Reno is the largest city in northern Nevada and is known for its casinos, but also for its art and culture. The city is home to a variety of museums, including the National Automobile Museum and the Nevada Museum of Art.
