Vintage Snapshots revisits the America of the 1930s through a series of state guide books published by the Federal Writers' Project . It explores the contextual occasion of the American Guides and the mechanics of their making. Their hybrid form - part fiction, part encyclopedia, part travel guide - is interpreted in light of the official American Guide Manual . Contemporary reviews of the guides reveal the extent of enthusiasm over their accomplishment for American culture. Vintage Snapshots also investigates the American Guide Series' troubled relationship with anti-New Deal forces. The politics of national portraiture are placed in the context of previous literary attempts to reproduce the entirety of America in words. A state-by-state compendium records the content of individual guides.
