"One man, one family driven from the land; this rusty car
creaking along the highway to the west. I lost my land, a
single tractor took my land. I am alone and bewildered.
Anhams and the women and children listen."

and in the night one family camps in a ditch and another
family pulls in and the tents come out. The two men squat
on their hams.
 

John Steinbeck
