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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Contains some of Steinbeck's best journalism." -- -- "The Nation"<br><br>"Steinbeck's journalism shares the enduring quality of his famous novel." -- -- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>"Written in the best tradition of advocacy journalism Steinbeck moves among the migrants, pen in one hand, fruit pail in the other, alternately picking and penning his way to literary glory." -- -- "The Village Voice"<br>
