Book Description
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. For a reader interested in small town life in the early 20th century, the WPA Guide to Ohio is an excellent resource. A series of photographs by Ben Shahn for the Farm Security Administration is well complemented with 17 selective essays about the political, industrial, and cultural life in the Buckeye State. The essay on the economy provides interesting information on the labor movement in Ohio.

Book Description
This unusual guide will take the tourist or the armchair traveler to literary landmarks throughout the South and Southwest. The great tradition of Southern literature comes alive in the homes of writers like Sidney Lanier, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Kate Chopin, and William Faulkner. Included are many early American authors like Captain John Smith and William Byrd of Virginia, Davy Crockett of Tennessee, and Edgar Allen Poe, as well as the major figures of twentieth-century writing, like Flannery O'Connor, Thomas Wolfe, and Ernest Hemingway. The rich and colorful writing of the Southwest is also fully covered--from Zane Grey's hunting lodge in Arizona and the locales of the works of J. Frank Dobie to the mystical landscape of New Mexico that inspired Willa Cather and D.H. Lawrence. Unexpected and offbeat places are also described: St. Simons Island, Georgia, where Fanny Kemble wrote a fascinating journal; the Rugby Restoration in Tennessee; Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, from where Washington Irving set off on a trip across the prairie; the settings of writings about the Indians of the Southwest. Here is an indispensable guidebook for the literary traveler that's also a handy desk reference for students.--Jacket flap.

Book Description
Many changes have taken place in the decade since Follow the Blue Blazes was first published, changes in the trails themselves and in the way we hike them. The Buckeye Trail still wends its way around the state of Ohio, following the course marked out by the characteristic blue blazes on trees and signposts along the way. In the intervening years, however, sections of the trail have changed their route, added amenities, or just grown more interesting. From the startling rock formations and graceful waterfalls of Old Man’s Cave, to Native American mounds, battlefields, and scenic rivers, Connie and Robert J. Pond provide a captivating guide to often-overlooked treasures around the state. Each chapter features an overview of a 100-mile section of the trail and three self-guided featured hikes. The overviews and the accompanying maps may be read consecutively to acquaint the reader with the entire course of the trail. But most readers will best enjoy the trail by taking the guide along on one of the featured hikes. Each route is outlined on an easy-to-read map with GPS coordinates and waypoints to guide the hiker, as well as explicit directions from parking lot to trailhead. The Buckeye Trail is readily accessible from Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Cleveland, and Akron. Even a short trip can lead to an adventure near your own backyard.

The Booklover's Guide to the Midwest is a treasure map in book form, pointing the way to the heartland's most interesting literary sites.
