It's Coming: Electricity For You.
Whiteside, Karen, Ed.
Loblolly Magazine, v10 n2 Sum 1986
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Rural Electrification Act changed farm life dramatically. The miracle of electricity in rural East Texas is examined in "Electricity Comes to East Texas" (Brandi Anderson and others). Chronicled is a description of life without electricity and how everyday chores were done in its absence. Local citizens compare and contrast life styles before and after electrification. Concluding the volume is an interview with H.D. Beasley, an East Texas wood carver who explains how he does his art. (BZ)
