Steinbeck’s involvement with the lives of the migrant workers, which had already provided the subject matter of In D...ubious Battle, became even keener in his mid-thirties. During the summer of 1936, he was visiting the Gridley Migrant Camp, north of Sacramento, when he replied to a letter from Lawrence Clark Powell, librarian emeritus of U.C.L.A: “I have to write this sitting in a ditch. I’ll be home in two or three weeks. I’m not working—may go south to pick a little cotton. All this, needless to say, is not for publication—migrants are going south now and I’ll probably go along. I enjoy it a lot.MoreLess
