Through these deeply personal and honest writings - and through more than one hundred rare illustrations - Guthrie reveals himself as never before, taking us along on the voyage of discovery that brought him from the nation's hinterlands to the forefront of the American political and social debate. Guthrie died tragically young, but his music and writings live on. Pastures of Plenty is an inspiring tribute to our American heritage." - from the rear outer cover.
