John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California in 1902. He attended but did not graduate from Stanford University (1920-1926). While writing, Steinbeck took odd jobs, he worked as a painter, caretaker, watchman, surveyor and a fruit picker. Working as a watchman of a house in the High Sierra, Steinbeck wrote his first novel, Cup of Gold (1929). He received a $250 advance from his publisher.
