Sizeable collection of WPA guides, twelve of which are ex-libris Dale Morgan, with his name on the covers at the upper right. All had small print runs and are rare. Saunders 1,2,3,4,6,7,10, and 11.
Dale Morgan's first job was with the Utah Works Progress Administration (WPA). He wrote introductory historical essays for the Historical Records Department, and his talents were soon acknowledged. The WPA published Morgan's first monograph in 1940. In the same year, the Utah Historical Quarterly published his The State of Deseret. He was soon transferred to the writer's program of the WPA, where he edited and did most of the writing for Utah, A Guide to the State, published in 1941.
