I. California : from past to present -- pt. II. Signposts to city scenes -- pt. III. Up and down the state -- pt. IV. Appendices.Alive with the exuberance, contradictions, and variety of the Golden State, this Depression-era guide to California is more than 700 pages of information that is, as David Kipen writes in his spirited introduction, "anecdotal, opinionated, and altogether habit-forming." Describing the history, culture, and roadside attractions of the 1930's, the WPA Guide to California features some of the very best anonymous literature of its era, with writing by luminaries such as San Francisco poet Kenneth Rexroth, composer-writer- hobo Harry Partch, and authors Tillie Olsen and Kenneth Patchen.Cities and townsCaliforniaHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945CaliforniaHISTORY / United States / State & Local / West (AK, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, UT, WY)bisacshCaliforniaGuidebooksCities and townsHistoryWorld War, 1939-1945HISTORY / United States / State & Local / West (AK, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, UT, WY).940.53/794940.53/794/091732Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administrationauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1964127Federal Writers' Project.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911107140803321California in the 1930s4727100UNINA
