1912224381912. Schwartz Isidor Publisher. Vi Azoy Tsu Veren a Sitizen. / The Citizen: A Guide to Naturalization. All Important Questions and Answers Printed in Hebrew and Yiddish Also Translations in Plain English Which You are to Know When Applying for Your Final Citizen Papers. Brooklyn: Aroysgegeben fun Isidor Schwartz / Published by Isidor Schwartz n.d. after 1912. Only edition. 31 page. Text in English and Yiddish both transliterated and Hebrew script. 6" x 4.5. Stapled pamphlet in printe wrappers.<br /> <br /> An immigrant-era Yiddish-English naturalization guide for Jewish immigrants preparing to become U.S. citizens published by Isidor Schwartz in Brooklyn. This vernacular instructional manual contains sample questions and answers in three formats: English Yiddish in Hebrew script and transliterated English in Latin script referred to on the cover as "Jewish-English". Designed for oral preparation it walks new arrivals through both general and localized questions commonly asked at the naturalization interview particularly for applicants in New York. Questions range from general American civics-"How does a bill become a law"-to specific regional knowledge-"What is the capital of New York State" and "How many stars has the American flag" The answer is noted as "Forty-eight stars" dating the publication to after Arizona and New Mexico's 1912 admission but before Alaska and Hawaii. The phrasing used-"We vote for the candidate who is in our opinion best fitted to occupy the office he wishes to be elected to"-illustrates the pamphlet's focus on simplified phonetic civic literacy.<br /> <br /> A vital artifact of Jewish immigrant life and Americanization in the early 20th century this pamphlet exemplifies how Jewish community publishers mediated state bureaucracies for recent arrivals. Yiddish language guides like this one offered more than instruction-they were part of the infrastructure of mutual aid and cultural transition particularly within New York's dense immigrant communities.<br /> <br /> Fragile condition with moderate chipping and edgewear to front and rear wrappers including some closed tears and loss at corners; interior pages clean and legible. Overall good condition. A scarce and historically significant publication supporting Jewish American integration during a peak period of Yiddish-speaking immigration; OCLC locates only 8 institutional holdings worldwide. unknown

194121672New York: Hastings House 1941. Very Good/Very Good. <br /> A quintessential regional guide from the Federal Writers' Project documenting the unique cultural and economic landscape of Key West at the close of the Depression. <br /> <br /> As part of the American Guide Series-often cited as the most ambitious research project in American history-this volume provides a granular look at the island city's transition from a collapsed industrial port to a burgeoning tourist destination.

Townsend Morgan.<br /> <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHICAL FEATURES<br /> Artistic Contributions: Illustrated with 11 photographs by Arthur Rothstein Farm Security Administration and 10 etchings by F.

HISTORICAL SUMMARY: THE WPA IN KEY WEST<br /> By the mid-1930s Key West had famously 'declared bankruptcy' and turned its administration over to the Federal Government. This guidebook is the literary result of that intervention. It captures the city in a state of reinvention moving away from its maritime and cigar-making past toward the 'Tropical Paradise' identity it maintains today.<br /> <br /> The inclusion of Arthur Rothstein's photography is significant; his work for the FSA typically focused on the Dust Bowl but here he captures the weathered architecture and faces of the Southernmost City. Simultaneously the etchings by F. Townsend Morgan provide a high-art contrast documenting the 'Old Key West' that the WPA sought to preserve even as they modernized the city's infrastructure. This volume is a primary source for understanding New Deal-era 'cultural engineering' and the birth of modern Florida tourism.<br /> <br /> Subjects: Key West History Florida Keys WPA American Guide Series New Deal History Arthur Rothstein Photography F.

193719038San Diego: San Diego Historical Society 1937. First Edition First Printing. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. Sponsored by the San Diego Historical Society. One of the earliest city guides produced as part of the WPA American Guide Series.<br /> <br /> Illustrated wraps; The bindings are tight and square. Text clean light even age-toning to the wraps. Moderate shelf handling wear. 8.75 inches tall; 130 pages with an index and extensive bibliography. Illustrated with maps; historical plate and many period photographs; folding map attached in the rear. Unlatching a remarkable trapdoor into the past this compact and charming document of the Depression era invites repeated browsing and is generously illustrated with striking black-and-white photographs that bring the period to life. <br /> <br /> San Diego in the 1930s offers a lively account of the city's culture roadside attractions and history from the days of the Spanish missions to the pre-Second World War boom. <br /> <br /> The guide is revealing both in the opinions it embodies and in the juicy details it records tidbits such as the bloodiest and most incompetently fought battle of the Mexican-American War Emma Goldman's abruptly terminated speech to local Wobblies in 1912 and even a delightfully anachronistic way to beat a San Diego speeding ticket. <br /> <br /> Brimming with tours that can prove challenging to retrace this book reminds us of the changes wrought by seven decades of intervening war peace and biotechnology. questia<br /> <br /> During the Great Depression of the 1930s thousands of writers were hired by the Works Project Administration to create hundreds of guidebooks on all of the states in the U.S. These volumes that were produced became known as the American Guide Series.
