Abstract
Over several weekends in the winter of 1937 Horace Bristol (1908-1997), staff photographer for LIFE magazine, traveled to California's Central Valley to photograph migrant labor camps. His traveling companion was the author John Steinbeck, and, according to Bristol, the pair planned to collaborate on a book project, with Steinbeck contributing text to accompany Bristol's photographs. Bristol also asserted that soon after the trip, in May 1938, Steinbeck decided not to be part of the proposed project, and instead completed the final draft of his classic novel The Grapes of Wrath which, unknown to Bristol, Steinbeck had been working on prior to their visits to the camps.
