<div dir="ltr">For a more narrative overview, I've also found "Spring Forward: The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time" by Michael Downing (2005, ISBN 1593760531) to be an entertaining and informative read. It doesn't skimp on details, but at the expense of some thoroughness and organization (from a data standpoint), it tells a good story of how we got into the whole mess in the first place. It also cites a large number of supporting references, so depending on the areas/years you're looking for, it could be helpful.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">--<br>Tim Parenti<br></div></div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I apologize is this question has been asked many times before, but is there any publication out there that lists all the observances and non-observances of Daylight Savings Time in the U.S. in the years between the end of World War II and the Uniform Time Act?<br>

The best publication I know of for that is Shanks's American Atlas, cited in the 'northamerica' file. Shanks is notoriously unreliable for time stamps outside the US but my vague impression (without really checking this) is that he's more reliable for time stamps within the U.S. between WW II and 1990 or so.<br>
