I’ve also taken the liberty of including major world events into this timeline to place Steinbeck’s life in proper historical context. Where an exact date for an event is in question, I have attempted to note the estimation and why the estimation was made. One has to assume that Steinbeck’s own record is the most accurate available. The main source for referenced events in this timeline is Steinbeck: A Life in Letters. References to each event can be found in the Timeline Appendix of Steinbeck Citizen Spy. The majority of entries have a corresponding reference to aid in returning to material that seemed promising. I did not know what tidbits would be pertinent as I came across events in John’s life, so I compiled as detailed a timeline as possible. In doing research for Steinbeck Citizen Spy, it became quickly apparent that comparing Steinbeck’s travels and associations with government documentation might help me decipher Steinbeck’s dual life.
