John Steinbeck & The Grapes of Wrath

In 1936, John Steinbeck - one of our greatest American writers, and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature - was approached by a San Francisco newspaper to write a series of articles about migrant farm workers.  This was during the Depression and times were very difficult for many people.
