Where Steinbeck wrote of the Joad family migration Guthrie's Hamlin's hang on.

"The feeling was, roughly, then that if all these separated memories, thoughts, ideas, happenings, were all just the one Tike Hamlin, well, then, all of the things around him-house, barn, the iron water tank, the windmill, little henhouse, the old Ryckzyck shakc, the whole farm, the whole ranch-they were a part of him, the same as an egg from the farm went into his mouth and down his throat and was part of him."
- From "House of Earth: A Novel" by Woody Guthrie
