A small but significant project of the New Deal was resettling carefully selected impoverished coal-mining families to the purpose-built community of Arthurdale. Based on documents and interviews, this book tells the story of Arthurdale and both the support and opposition it engendered with Mrs. Roosevelt as its stalwart patron. Black-and-white photos accompany the straightforward text. Bib., ind.

Celebrate the States series.
These visually appealing volumes combine clear color photographs and solid texts to explore the history, government, people, and landmarks of each state. Supplemented by maps, songs, facts and figures, and even recipes for peanut butter corn muffins (Georgia) and frogmore stew (South Carolina), the books are both informative and lively. Time lines are included. Bib., ind.

Celebrate the States series.
A boon for report writers, these ten volumes dutifully provide information on each state's geography, wildlife, history, government and economy, population, landmarks, tourist attractions, and notable residents. A somewhat dull design incorporates readable texts, colorful tour-book-like photos, maps, charts, and historic reproductions. State facts, state songs, annual celebrations, and "fun facts" are appended. Bib., ind.
