Going Down the Road (NY Times)

From The New York Times:

September 6, 2008

In an interactive feature, Monica Davey, Nicole Bengiveno and Catrin Einhorn traveled to Iowa to examine the farm life there, past and present.

This is part of a series of interactive maps that revisit some of the states and landmarks in the American Guide Series of books, produced during the Great Depression by the Federal Writers’ Project. Writers and photographers were dispatched to outposts and urban areas to create the guide, which has become part of the canon of American travel writing.
