"The WPA Guide to 1930's New Mexico" was created as part of the Federal Writers' Project during the Great Depression. The book offers a vivid portrayal of New Mexico's unique landscape, culture, and heritage at a time when the nation was grappling with widespread economic hardship. Through its detailed accounts, the guide captures the essence of the state's diverse communities, including Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo populations, while providing insight into their customs, traditions, and livelihoods. It also features descriptions of New Mexico's natural beauty, from its sweeping deserts to its rugged mountains, alongside practical advice for travelers navigating the state's roads and towns. This guide serves as both a cultural artifact and a snapshot of life in New Mexico during a transformative period in American history.
