About This Item
Los Angeles: United Artists / The Bound for Glory Company, 1975. Revised script for the 1976 film. Actor David Carradine's manuscript ink signature and annotation reading "This land is your land!" and a yin yang symbol on title page. Manuscript ink annotation on verso of back wrapper.
A fictionalized account of Woody Guthrie's life, based on Guthrie's autobiography. Guthrie hitchhikes from Texas to California during the 1930s dust bowl to find a job to support his family. When he realizes how bad wages and conditions are he begins to pursue music as a means of fighting for worker's rights. Director Hal Ashby's version of Woody Guthrie is a complex one, showing the legendary proletarian singer and activist as a man with contradictory virtues and faults.

Synopsis
First published in 1943, this autobiography is also a superb portrait of America's Depression years, by the folk singer, activist, and man who saw it all. One of Guthrie's first published writings, it is an important artifact of musical and political history, and a precedent for Guthrie's long lost novel, House of Earth , to be published in 2013 and edited by Johnny Depp and Douglas Brinkley.
