Whose Names Were Unknown, by Sanora Babb, is an excellent novel with an interesting back story. Babb was an aspiring writer in the 1930s when she took a job providing government assistance to Dust Bowl migrants who worked agricultural fields in California. John Steinbeck came to the camp while researching what would become The Grapes of Wrath. He talked with her, and she shared her notes. Babb went on to complete her own manuscript, which was accepted by Bennett Cerf at Random House for publication. When Steinbeck beat her to press, Cerf cancelled publication on Babb's book believing there was no room for two books on the same topic.Babb, put away the manuscript going on to a successful career as an author. In 2004 the book was finally published, thankfully. Her story, in contrast to Steinbeck's, focuses on the daily lives of farmers in the Oklahoma panhandle. She has a real talent for both creating natural dialog, and vivid description of place and setting. The first half chronicles the lives of several families struggling to make ends meet in the face of economic and natural hardships. Her descriptions of the great dust storms that blanketed Oklahoma are particularly well done. She puts a real face on people who have largely been seen only as victims of calamity. Yet these were people with dreams, goals, ambitions and resilience. Babb tells their story with humanity.The second part of her book takes some of her characters to the fields of California. This is the story Steinbeck told, but again Babb delves into everyday life in ways Steinbeck did not. She also tells the story of low wages, filthy labor camps, and other abuses faced by these migrants who were given the pejorative name of Okies. The title of the book comes from the eviction notices routinely given tenants in farm camps: To John and Mary Smith whose true names are unkown... Sanora Babb has given names to these Americans.
