Where is the setting of The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck?
As a child of migrant farm workers in California, my parents, grandparents, as well as several relatives, settled in the San Joaquin Valley, near Tulare on what was known then as the Tagus Ranch. We lived in tents, cars, and whatever else would protect us from the weather. My parents picked picked peaches there, as well as Cotton on the Halstead Ranch. In 1941 my parents, as well as several friends and relatives, with the same background as ours, purchased some land from Mr Lee Cree and put down some semblance of belong there. Somehow the community of about 100, including children, came to be know as "OKIE Camp". The community is located approximately 2 miles West of Goshen, California. At that time, in the early 40's there was no running water or electricity or Gas. My family left there in 1990 and moved to Visalia, California.
Hard times, but great life time friends will always be remembered there.
I submit, the real Grapes of Wrath, as acknowledged by John Steinbeck, was really all about OKIE Camp near Goshen.
