Woody Guthrie: America's Folksinger

(4) 4-6 Trailblazers series. Though he suffered great misfortunes in his life, Woody Guthrie contributed a wealth of music and writing to America's folk-song tradition. Illustrated with black-and-white photos, this biography covers the events of Guthrie's life, although sometimes too cursorily. A better source is Elizabeth Partridge's This Land Was Made for You and Me.
