First published in 1939, "Nebraska: A Guide to the Cornhusker
State" was collaboratively written by the Federal Writers' Project
(FWP). As part of the Works Project Administration, the FWP
gathered together some of the best writers of the era.
Collectively, they undertook a nationwide initiative to record
information about America and create comprehensive guides to their
respective states. The wonderful results were a well-written blend
of travel guide, ethnography, local history, and cultural document.
This guide to the Cornhusker State brought together Nebraska
writers such as Weldon Kees, Mari Sandoz, and Loren Eiseley. These
respected authors created a remarkable compendium that includes
chapters on the state's history, environment, peoples, flora and
fauna, government, agriculture and industry, folklore,
architecture, art, and literature. Rewarding reading for the
armchair traveler and a companion for the tourist, "Nebraska"
captures an era and makes accessible to readers information that is
not readily available outside archives.
