The Harvest Gypsies: On the Road to the Grapes of Wrath is a nonfiction work by John Steinbeck, built from seven newspaper articles he wrote for The San Francisco News in 1936. The book records the lives of Dust Bowl migrants who moved to California in search of work during the Great Depression, and it combines reporting, social observation, and moral argument. Steinbeck writes as both a journalist and an advocate: he describes camp conditions, labor exploitation, hunger, and insecurity while also pressing for humane public policy. The work is closely tied to the historical background of The Grapes of Wrath, because it provided much of the factual research and social context for that later novel. With accompanying photographs by Dorothea Lange, it is both a documentary record and a piece of reform-minded journalism that aims to make the migrant crisis visible to a broad public.
