This book examines the many ways in which the New Deal revived Texas’s economic structure after the 1929 collapse. Ronald Goodwin analyzes how Franklin Roosevelt’s initiative, and in particular, the Work Progress Administration, remedied rampant unemployment and homelessness in twentieth-century Texas.
This volume adds much to our knowledge of the WPA’s efforts in Texas and of the greater New Deal determination to guide the Lone Star State out of the grips of the Great Depression, while, as Goodwin reminds us, documenting Texas culture and preserving its history along the way. * Southwestern Historical Quarterly *
