Description	The Federal Writers’ Project in Wisconsin, 1935-1942. Author Michael Edmonds describes the WPA’s Federal Writers’ Project in Wisconsin, which was directed by Charles E. Brown (1872-1946) of the Wisconsin Historical Society. The project collected and published folklore from around the state but was less successful in other endeavors due to mismanagement by Brown’s assistants and cuts in federal support for the project following the House Committee on Un-American Activities’ investigation of Communist influence on the WPA. State support and the hiring of John J. Lyons were critical to the completion of the WPA guide to Wisconsin, which was published in 1941
