Cannery Row: the History of Old Ocean View Avenue is that & much more! Six years of intensive oral history research as Executive Director & Historian of the Cannery Row Foundation, interviewing the street's surviving cannery workers, residents, business people, the skippers & fishermen in Monterey's sardine fishing fleet-- & friends, family & acquaintances of John Steinbeck-- enabled the author to capture & preserve the Monterey's sardine era & the street made world famous by John Steinbeck's "fiction." The perfect companion to Steinbeck's Cannery Row literature, this book's abundant archival photographs & information bring the street alive as it was when Steinbeck stalked it. This unique oral-history-based account of the life & times of Americas' most famous street includes a full, two page, detailed & fully indexed historical map-guide to Cannery Row, its historical sites, original cannery locations-- & its actual Steinbeck locales-- making this book an indispensable field guide to one of America's most colorful historical & literary & ecological locations. www.alibris.com
