Others discuss her work for the WPA in Florida; \u003ci\u003eTracks on the Road\u003c\/i\u003e, her autobiography; and \u003ci\u003eMules and Men\u003c\/i\u003e, her collection of Florida folklore gathered under the direction of anthropologist Franz Boas. The book also treats Hurston's lesser-known works such as the play \u003ci\u003eColor Struck\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTell My Horse\u003c\/i\u003e, her first-person account of fieldwork in Haiti.
