American Guide Series Series B&W photographs Comprehensive guide to the history geology climate topography flora and fauna of California's Death Valley. As typical with this excellent series about 2/3 of the book is devoted to detailed automobile tours of the Valley -- in this case divided between "Main Highways" 7 tours and "Rough Roads" 13 tours. Many of the 59 photographs in the book were sourced from the Department of Interior or the Union Pacific Railroad although there are three Edward Weston images and a dozen or so credited to "Frashers" the photography business established by Burton Frasher Sr. in 1907. Noting the front-cover blurb that the book was 'approved by the National Park Service" it's interesting to contemplate that Death Valley had only been declared a National Monument just six years before this publication. NOTE that in the small envelope affixed to the rear pastedown it's unclear whether this was part of the original issue or applied by a later owner of the book is contained a rate sheet dated 1954-1955 for Scotty's Castle -- where the absolutely top-of-the-line accommodation was the "Johnson Suite" available for three people at $30 a night. The rate sheet printed on bright pink paper and folded in sixths is in mint condition. . Houghton Mifflin Company hardcover books

Coin collection can to raise funds for the Job March on Washington held in 1937 and organized by the Workers Alliance after cuts were made to the WPA budget. Only 2500 marchers made it to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington this empty can numbered in manuscript "no. 113" apparently not seeing any use. Additionally because of the ill timing of the event late August 1937 the marchers found Congress "in the throes of adjournment fever and in no mood to consider unemployment and relief problems" The Pittsburgh Press August 22 1937. Indeed news articles from a couple months later look back on the job march as something of a non-event. Place of publication based on union slug. unknown books
