The Harvest Gypsies -- John Steinbeck

Gathered in this important volume are seven newspaper articles on migrant farm workers that John Steinbeck wrote for <i>The San Francisco News</i> in 1936, three years before <i>The Grapes of Wrath</i>. With the inquisitiveness of an investigative reporter and the emotional power of a novelist in his prime, Steinbeck toured the squatters' camps and Hoovervilles of California. <i>The Harvest Gypsies</i> gives us an eyewitness account of the horrendous Dust Bowl migration, a major event in California history, and provides the factual foundation for Steinbeck's masterpiece, <i>The Grapes of Wrath</i>. Included are twenty-two photographs by Dorothea Lange and others, many of which accompanied Steinbeck's original articles.<br><br><b>Author:</b> John Steinbeck<br><b>Publisher:</b> Heyday Books<br><b>Published:</b> 10/01/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 88<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.30lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.80h x 5.90w x 0.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781890771614
