Artifact Overview

In 1960, author John Steinbeck set off on a voyage of rediscovery with his dog, Charley, to reconnect with America. He meandered from coast to coast to learn more about the country outside the regions he believed he already knew well -- major cities. Travels with Charley is Steinbeck's recounting of his journey in a land he decides is as lost as he is.
