advance praise for soul of a people "A wonderful and engaging book . . . David Taylor?s Soul of a People will make you secretly wish that you could have been one of the thousands of writers who, during the height of the Depression, set out to paint an intimate portrait of a nation and its people. Taylor illuminates this history of the Federal Writers? Project with impressive research and deft storytelling."—Robert Whitaker, author of On the Laps of Gods: The Red Summer of 1919 and the Struggle for Justice That Remade a Nation "During the Great Depression, the federal government paid out–of–work writers to capture American voices on paper. But Soul of a People is the first book to tell the stories of the Federal Writers themselves. In David Taylor?s engaging narrative, this spunky, colorful, and entertaining crew comes back to life." —Ann Banks, editor of First Person America, an anthology of oral histories collected by the Federal Writers?...
