I've been hunting a copy of this book for a long time, and finally found one in the bookshop of little museum (it's been out of print for over 20 years!). It's a series of interviews with lumberjacks who worked in Michigan between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of World War I. Love me some primary sources! #rarebooks #primarysource #lumberjack #logging #historygeek #history #federalwritersproject

This is part 1 of 4 slave narratives prepared by the Federal Writers' Project for the Works Progress Administration from 1936-38. This is part 1 of the Georgia Narratives and it's 352 pages of interviews conducted with people who could remember being enslaved Africans. #afolkhistoryofslavery #historyofenslavedAfricans #federalwritersproject #wpa (at F I E L D / W O R K)
