The correspondence and letters created during this time provide a fascinating glimpse of our nation's history. The author's research reveals the efforts of the government and local communities during this time. Not every community was thrilled with the idea of the subject matter or money spent on artwork for their local post office building. The murals were installed in small communities throughout Tennessee on purpose. They were meant to bring significant art to everyday Americans. This is public art and the post office was the most public of places during this era. Packed with full color images, Tennessee Post Office Murals celebrates these wonderful pieces of art as they exist today.
