Listen to their accents and the ambiance of these slices of history: Hear four migrants (Roy Turner, S.C. Loop, Bill Robinson, and Gene Dinwiddie) recorded in a government camp in Visalia, California, 1941 -- this is almost like hearing one of the Joads or the Wilsons speaking.

Recorded near Yuba City, California, in 1940. Lee, Russell. “Getting gas, migrant family en route to California at small town near Henrietta, Oklahoma.” 1939.
