商品簡介
Part of the Roosevelt administration's Works Progress Administration, the New Mexico Federal Writers' Project, launched in August of 1935, employed (mostly Anglo) writers from the state of New Mexico to record narrative accounts of the ranchers, cowboys, sheepherders, outlaws, gamblers, prospectors, cattle rustlers, and other characters of New Mexican history, many based on accounts told by residents of the state to the writers. Part of a series, this volume presents 108 examples of writings focused on outlaws and desperadoes produced by the New Mexico Federal Writer's Project from its beginnings through its 1939 transformation into the New Mexico Writers' Program.
