I've created a map of America with placemarks for the major stops that John Steinbeck mentioned in the book "Travels with Charley." Over a period of months in 1960, Steinbeck went from Sag Harbor on Long Island to Midtown Manhattan, going the long way around with stops in Norhtern Maine, Chicago, the Badlands, Yellowstone Park, Seattle, San Francisco, Monterey, Amarillo, New Orleans and back up the East coast.
The link here to Google Earth places the view high enough over Kansas that you won't see the placemarks until you zoom in once or twice.

The Google Maps version can be found at Travels with Charley map

Here's a picture of cover art showing Steinbeck and Charley.

Thanks for this post! I'm ashamed to say I've never read this book, though my excuse is that I've read lots of his others. Required reading if you went to school in California. Now, maybe I'll just have to get to this one...

Regards,
