Autobiography of America's greatest folksinger, his life in an Oklahoma town, his travels during the Depression and his death in 1967 in New York.
Synopsis
An autobiography of Woody Guthrie, founder of modern American folk music. This book presents a cynical, earthy and tragic account of his life in an Oklahoma oil-boom town, of the Depression that followed, and of his subsequent travels in, on, and under trains, in stolen cars and on his feet, round an America going rotten from the top downwards.
