The Harvest Gypsies - by Steinbeck...
"If one thinks that the Okie is a term for poor white trash then they simply need read The Harvet Gypsies to find the reality of how Americans shunned the hardworking, honest backbone of America. A born Californian - I am ashamed of the the behavior - My family orgins being Oklahoma and Arkansas - I have found myself identifying with the values and morals of this poor white trash class and find that they are actually the Gold of
California and the Heart of America." -- Karen
