I believe so. But, in another way I completely disagree (of course). Steinback wrote GOW in his california home kind of during the period. So I think that the book all in all is accurate to (mostly) everything, EXCEPT for the story back in Oklahoma. He did not travel, he did not interview, the only thing he based it was his experiences, stories, and news (I believe). I think he thought he had a good enough idea of how things were to create accurate stories taking place in Route 66 and Oklahoma, but I'm not sure. People always say that GOW is accurate because it's from that period, but it doesn't always ensure accuracy, especially if he didn't do his research.
