Bound For Glory must be taken with a grain of salt. Several grains, actually, because Woody had a tendency to alter the facts when and where he saw fit. It must not be viewed as pure amd accurate autobiography. Other than that, it's good reading.

Anyone wanting to read about Woody Guthrie should start with the biographies by Joe Klein and Ed Cray, respectively. IMO, you have to read them both. The problem with Klein's book is that he wrote it when some people were still alive (Marjorie Guthrie's first husband, in particular), and names and facts were altered. Cray's book didn't have such restrictions. A few things in the books will contradict each other, but these are the books I'd start with. They dovetail quite nicely.

The book Pastures of Plenty, though out of print, is also worthwhile. There's also a book by Elizabeth Partridge that has some merit. I feel the recent Woody Guthrie - American Radical should be read only after reading the ones previously listed, as it glosses over much biographical detail, assuming the reader is already familiar with the story. But, as a book where the primary focus is on Woody's politics, it can be quite enlightening.

Just my opinions, for what they're worth.
