Biography

John Ernst Steinbeck was born in Salinas, CA, on February 27, 1902, to John Ernst and Olive Hamilton Steinbeck, the third of four children. After being graduated from Salinas High School, he attended Stanford University intermittently between 1920 and 1925. After leaving Stanford, Steinbeck moved to New York City, where he worked as a construction laborer and wrote briefly for the Hearst-owned The American newspaper. In 1926, Steinbeck returned to California. He lived and worked during the late 1920s in the Lake Tahoe area, where he wrote his first novel, Cup of Gold, published by Robert M. McBride, New York, in 1929.

The 1930s were a period of extraordinary productivity for John Steinbeck. He wrote eight novels during the decade, beginning in 1932 with The Pastures of Heaven (New York : Brewer, Warren & Putnam), through his first commercial and critical success with Tortilla Flat (New York: Covici-Friede, 1935), and concluding in 1939 with The Grapes of Wrath, for which he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1940.

Like the 1930s, the 1940s were also a period of great productivity. Steinbeck wrote six books and wrote the screenplays for several earlier works, including the production of The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, and Viva Zapata!

Steinbeck continued to be productive throughout his life, producing 26 books and countless stories, dramatic adaptations, editorials and pieces of journalism. Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature on December 10, 1962. He died of a heart attack in New York City on December 20, 1968. He was 66 years old.

The Wells Fargo Steinbeck Collection, originally the Rodgers Collection of John Steinbeck, contains more that 770 letters, photographs, clippings, unpublished short pieces, and ephemera from John Steinbeck and the Steinbeck and Hamilton families, dating from the 1890s to the early 1980s. The bulk of the collection consists of John Steinbeck's letters to his family, beginning in the 1923 with his letters home from Stanford University. The letters from the globetrotting Steinbeck continue throughout his life, addressed primarily to his sister Esther Steinbeck Rodgers of Watsonville, California, until just before his death from a heart attack on December 20, 1968.

The collection also contains a cache of letters from Steinbeck to Esther Rodgers's daughter Carolee, as well as letters from other members of the Steinbeck and Hamilton families, including letters from John Ernst Steinbeck to Esther, letters from Almira Ann Steinbeck (Steinbeck's paternal grandmother), letters from Elaine Steinbeck to Esther, letters from Steinbeck's godfather D.P. Trask, and Steinbeck's biographer Nelson Valjean. Together, these letters provide the researcher a rich portrait of Steinbeck's family, his early years and his adult life, which so influenced his writing.

The photograph albums contain more than 200 pictures. They are an extraordinary collection of images of the Steinbeck and Hamilton families, providing a rare glimpse into the private life of John Steinbeck from his childhood until his death.

Finally, the Wells Fargo Steinbeck Collection consists of more than 100 copies of Steinbeck's books and works about Steinbeck, virtually all of which are first editions, signed by the author, or inscription copies to his sister Esther Rodgers

The Wells Fargo Steinbeck Collection is organized into 12 series following the organization of the papers by the Rodgers family and especially the careful work done by Ann Dethlefsen, Esther Rodgers' granddaughter. Very few changes have been made to the Dethlefsen organization except when necessitated for the sake of housing or when greater clarification of dates could be added. These twelve series are:
