Review - John Steinbeck "The Log from the Sea of Cortez"
Our Once-in-a-Lifetime trip driving through Baja would not have been complete without this work. While not the Steinbeck to which most of us are familiar, this work shows us his dedication to our Planet and rare personal insight to his feelings on everything from War to Ecology, a term most of us learned in the 1960's and what he "is" in 1940.
We read this book, each passenger to the driver, while passing miles of small towns, ejitos, military checkpoints and Cities. Under a Palapa sitting in a hammock... a great way to pass the time on the beach; On the Sea of Cortez.
Redundant as Logs are wont to be, and a great resource for those studying tide pools. His stories about meeting the people were our favorite parts of the Log; we relate in a more informed way to the Ways of the people in the areas he traveled, as we traveled.
