The dance at Weedpatch Camp

The dance at Weedpatch Camp from The Grapes of Wrath, v.2, p.416, illustrated edition, by Thomas Hart Benton, a native of eastern Oklahoma, who was assigned to draw archetypal Oklahomans for 20th Century Fox as the studio believed that would make the casting more accurate. "The music snarled out 'Chicken Reel,' shrill and clear, fiddle skirling, harmonicas nasal and sharp, and the guitars booming on the bass strings." "They danced backward and forward, hands 'round swing your lady."
