Weedpatch Government Camp

The Weedpatch Government Camp from The Grapes of Wrath, vol.2 p.350, 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. "Tom pulled across into the opposite road. A few hundred yards and then he stopped. A high wire fence faced the road, and a wide-gated driveway turned in. A little way inside the gate there was small house with a light in the window."
