New Orleans City Guide is part of the American Guide Series produced by the Federal Writers’ Project of the Works Progress Administration and published by Houghton Mifflin in 1938.

Written and compiled during the WPA era, this guide offers a richly detailed portrait of New Orleans in the early 20th century, covering history, neighborhoods, architecture, culture, and daily life. Illustrated throughout, it reflects the New Deal–era effort to document American cities with both literary and historical depth, making it an appealing volume for collectors of regional history, travel literature, and WPA publications.
