Summary
First published in 1943, this autobiography is also a superb portrait of America's Depression years, by a man who saw it all.
Author Biography
Woody Guthrie was born in Oklahoma and traveled this whole country over -- not by jet or motorcycle, but by boxcar, thumb, and foot. During the journey of discovery that was his life, he composed and sang words and music that have become a national heritage. His songs, however, are but part of his legacy. Behind him Woody Guthrie left a remarkable autobiography that vividly brings to life both his vibrant personality and a vision of America we cannot afford to let die.
