Abstract

During the 1930s, the Works Progress Administration, a federal program that provided jobs for Americans, conducted thousands of interviews with Americans to document their experiences and life histories. On May 5, 1939, Edith Crawford of the WPA sat down with seventy-seven-year-old Lorencita Miranda in Lincoln, New Mexico, to record her memories of her early life.
