This book documents how Woody Guthrie was born and reared in the hardest of times. But as he became an adult, he took advantage of America’s eagerness to mythologize the working man into a grassroots hero (as in John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath). He adopted the persona—the music, the speech, the look, and the habits--of the poor working class he observed in his travels. He hardly ever stepped out from behind that myth, though he was in fact an intellectual with a gift for writing poetry, novels, and songs that connected with the young and the old, the educated elite and the nearly...

This book is a trip down nostalgia lane. When spending a few months with our son in Waterloo, Illinois, we had two friends approach us about leading them on a little trip. That idea was to drive to and by the famous old haunts of America's Highway, old Route 66. In our case, we would start with them in St. Louis and see the sights all across Missouri. Then we would detour, as ol' Route 66 did, up and through both Galena and Baxter Springs, Kansas, then south to enter Oklahoma at Vinita. Now, these close friends of ours -- Michael and Penny Letichevsky -- had never seen much of Oklahoma. So ...
