During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. Utah, a state which is well known for its distinct religious history, is thoroughly examined in this WPA Guide, with an entire chapter on the relationship between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the state of Utah. The Beehive State, also known for its natural beauty and plentiful resources, also contains several pictures of the Great Salt Lake and mountainous desert landscape as well as an interesting essay on mining.

These true-to-life experiences show how you can overcome and grow from the problems in your life. After all, if it had not been for Goliath, David would have remained a shepherd boy. The challenges that you face are part of life, not the end of it. I used my spiritual strength to conquer those problems and strengthen my faith. You will also see how we can have disappointing times in all segments of life. This includes professions, family, church members, banks, and, most of all, the corporate United States under the control of the unconstitutional Federal Reserve and its collection agency Internal Revenue Service. You will see how our challenges sometimes force us to study and research such entities and discover the fraud and corruption that exists in government, Internal Revenue Service, Federal Reserve, and our judicial system. These things are not taught in government-operated schools that indoctrinate our school kids from an early age. Our judicial system is just as corrupt and no longer rings the bell of justice that was experienced during those wonderful days of freedom and liberties that were enjoyed by all Americans. Today it is all about the money, control, connections, and punishment. You will see that all those areas of life mentioned above use punishment rather than compassion to resolve or correct a situation. There are at least 15 percent of innocent people in prisons for political reasons or just to put another notch in some judges' belt. At least 39 percent of people in prison are nonviolent and should not be placed in prison. A judge in Tennessee stated that his goal was to sentence ten thousand years by his retirement. That is a vendetta, not justice. My purpose in sharing the information within is to reveal to you the two governments that are prevalent in America today. There is the Constitutional United States of America with its fifty sovereign states controlling their own affairs. Then there is the corporate United States, which has become an unconstitutional central government controlling every aspect of the lives of Americans. You were not taught in school about the bankruptcy that the United States was forced to file to the private-owned Federal Reserve in 1933. This is explained herein. I explain how the Internal Revenue Service, Federal Reserve, and its national banking system are frauds as well as corrupt. They use any means necessary to control the citizens of America even by murder, which is also proven from personal experience. The primary purpose is to awaken "we the people" of this country to how they are in prisons without bars and do not realize it. My desire is to awaken the sleeping giant and motivate you to become active in taking back America before it is too late. I hope reveal some records straight and reveal the truth of several personal situations. It should illustrate how our spiritual strength can assist each of us in continual challenges in our lives. The spirit is of utmost importance in moving through this journey of life to arrive at our destiny. Society has lost respect for other people as we witness the atrocities that take place every day. Not only is our patriotism being tested, so is our faith. Our destiny is not found in this life but rather in the life to come.
