A new travel series featured on our website and authored by Fern L. Nesson, our Massachusetts National Associate, will take us on a tour of 1930s America. Titled “Travels with the American Guide Series, A WPA Federal Writers’ Project,”Fern L. Nesson’s series is a collection of essays and photographs that use the WPA’s American Guide Series as a contemporary guide. A writer and photographer with a distinguished career in law, Fern has exhibited her photography work in the United States and Europe, most recently in Arles and Provence. The travel essays showcase her spectacular photography work and engaging storytelling. Fern is the first author to reflect on the cultural landscapes of present-day America through the eyes of the federal authors writing in service of the New Deal. Following the north-south itinerary suggested by the American Guide Series, Fern has begun her journey in Maine, traveling toward Massachusetts on scenic Route One. In the upcoming weeks, we will be launching an entirely new website section titled “On the Road with the New Deal” that will feature Fern’s travel series as well as New Deal travel posts from our regular contributors.
