With an extraordinary body of work that encompasses over 3,000 songs, including the timeless masterpiece "This Land is Your Land," Guthrie's artistic prowess extended far beyond his musical compositions. He was also a poet, painter, illustrator, novelist, journal keeper, and masterful letter writer.
