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. The Granite State has a rich history and varied landscape, beautifully presented in the WPA Guide to New Hampshire. The driving tours highlight the White Mountains, Lake Winnipesaukee, and the coast near Portsmouth. This New Hampshire guide also has traditional photographs of churches, landscapes, and colonial houses which give readers a feel for life in New England in the early 20th century.

Excerpt from New Hampshire: A Guide to the Granite State For more than three centuries white men have been coming to New Hampshire. The Plymouth Pilgrim's had been in the country only three years when another group found their way to the mouth of the Piscataqua River and became the first dwellers in this part of the New World, which one hundred and fifty years later was to bear the title of the State of New Hampshire. Others came and moved farther into 'the interior and up along the Merrimack River, and by the early part of the eighteenth cen tury, with others who joined them, were pushing on still farther north. By 1800 much of the State's cultivatable land had been settled by men and women who had been drawn to this region.
