PRMS discard hardcover 97 pages plus endnotes
genre: non-fiction
I was trying to do more weeding before I left PRMS. This title has not been checked out in the eight years I've been there. It made me think of the Gantos book Dead End in Norvelt . . . and I think I appreciated learning about this topic all the more for having read the fiction title first! Eleanor Roosevelt was an amazing woman! This experiment was pretty expensive (and widely criticized at the time), but it was courageous and life-changing for the families who got to live in this community. This brief book was well-researched and had lots of quotes from people who lived in Arthurdale.
