American Decades 1930-1939: Primary Sources (American Decades)

The United States in the 1930s was dominated by the economic difficulties of the Great Depression, which impacted life on all levels for much of the population. The Depression spurred federal programs in business and industry and investment in the arts and humanities, generating a heretofore unparalleled support for and public interest in literature, architecture, photography, and other ventures. At the same time, the countrys economic woes did not discourage crime or social debate. The 1930s was a decade rich in new cultural and social programs, as well as political debate and legal challenge. The following documents are just a sampling of the offerings available in this volume: Notes on a Cowboy Ballet, Aaron Coplands notes for Billy the KidProgress in Michigan, newsletter of the Works Progress AdministrationLand of the Spotted Eagle, by Luther Standing Bear A Century of Progress Exposition: Official Pictures in Color, exposition bookletWhats the Matter with Congress? by Senator Lester J.
