Salinas native here… I actually went to the little red school referenced in “The Red Pony.” Lagunita. Me and my little brother went there for every grade up until 8th grade. I was born at Memorial Hospital in the south side of Salinas. Now I live in Oklahoma. It’s interesting to experience both sides of two places that are deeply connected. I love the Salinas Valley and it will forever be my home. Monterey Bay is hands down one of the most beautiful places on the planet and being so far from it now makes me appreciate it so much more. Feeling a little homesick now after watching this video.

Steinbeck is a favorite author. I think Canary Row ls my favorite. It is a hard choice as I could say the same for many of his books. Jeff, you mentioned Steinbeck was not especially liked in California during his time. I believe he exposed the harshness of the of the places he wrote about. Farming and the canaries were big business in California at that time.

Grapes of Wrath, both my parents lived it..came out from OK as kids and lived in the picking camps around Tulare. Loved this episode and wonderful to see Sara peeking in a bit.

What a great documentary! I was raised and educated in Germany. I remember reading “Jenseits von Eden” in high school. I’ve been living in the Central Valley of California for decades. A few years ago I visited the John Steinbeck Center, but haven’t made it to his birth place yet. My niece from Germany accompanied me to the Steinbeck Center. She’s an English teacher in Germany and had not heard of John Steinbeck. I guess he’s no longer on the curriculum… pity! The center is set up really well, targeted mainly to school children. I remember one exhibit in particular. Grapes of Wrath. I was in for a kind of rude awakening. This was when, 1930’s? Times haven’t changed all that much, have they?

Nice one Jeff! 2021 and some folks are still burning books and blaming others. John Steinbeck had the curiosity and courage to look a little deeper. I loved Grapes of Wrath and the story of American migration. I’ve been near Salinas (Laguna Seca raceway) many times and didn’t realize this history right there. “I’m asking for Charley not Lassie!” That’s hilarious. Thanks for including and interspersing the footnotes and pictures. Also noted his middle name was Ernst (which is a name but also means serious in German). I found that his family name was originally Grosssteinbeck. He might remind us that most Americans are descendants of immigrants. Peace all. 📖📚

The twentieth century produced many great writers, but to my mind, Steinbeck remains the top of the class. My favorite book is Cannery Row, a wonderful short novel that can be read in one evening, although it is so beautifully written, it is better savored, a few chapters at a time. In the years I was reading Steinbeck, I didn't know that I would live out the second half of my life in Salinas, but so it has come to pass. Thanks for showing a few other places of note here in Salinas. It's a great little town. I like taking the old stage coach road over the hills into San Juan Bautista.
