OREGON TRAIL is third in the series of main-highway guidebooks prepared by the Federal Writers' Project. Hardbound. Very good. The Federal Writers' Project was one of five independent branches of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) established in the summer of 1935 by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Unlike the Civilian Conservation Corps (1932), where young men worked on roads, bridges, and dams, the Works Progress Administration employed non-construction workers, as well as laborers. In Oregon, the Federal Writers' Project was the most visible white-collar agency of the WPA." - The Oregon Encyclopedia. W11
