This is the group that, in part, inspired Steinbeck to write Of Mice and Men as a play so that everyday workers would have access to his work. Corcoranis a town in Tulare County, California. In 1933, Pixley was one of the towns in California involved in the San Joaquin cotton strike, a labor action by agricultural workers seeking higher wages.
