This project will benefit the Carl Albert Center Congressional Archives at the University of Oklahoma by contributing searchable, plain text versions of letters written to Democratic Congressman (OK) Lyle Boren. The letters concern Congressman Boren's speech before Congress condemning John Steinbeck's 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath and its representation of "Okies."
Footnotes for "The Reception of The Grapes of Wrath in Oklahoma":
Can you find others? It is important to realize that the entire run of the Oklahoma City Times is available—on microfilm at The Oklahoma Historical Society. An important consideration in archival work is weighing cost and availability. How do you think this will affect future writings about this event?
