Steinbeck nicknamed his truck Rocinante after Don Quixote' s "noble steed". We wanted to see the museum specifically because Steinbeck took off in a truck with a camper shell in 1960 to see the U.S. The Steinbeck Center is the only museum in the U.S. He was an author of twenty-seven books, including sixteen novels, six non-fiction books and five collections of short stories Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize in Literaturein 1962. John Steinbeck, most known for writing the books, "Grapes Of Wrath", "East of Eden" and "Of Mice and Men", was born in Salinas, California. One of the "must see" things to do on the Monterey Peninsula is to visit the beautiful National Steinbeck Center in Salinas.Ĭannery Row in Monterey is also a place where Steinbeck left his markand is another must see stop while you're here. The Center is closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.
