SOMEWHERE...while searching for the Shinn family's connection with the Armstrong Redwoods in Guerneville, I ran into a reference to the 1967 Disney movie, the Gnome-mobile. Being a fan of the Shinns and gnomes and the redwoods and vintage Disney, I had to find the movie.
The original book, The Gnomobile: A Gnice Gnew Gnarrative with Gnonsense but Gnothing Gnaughty was written in 1936 by Upton Sinclair !
The Walt Disney Museum wrote "Celebrating 50 Years of Riding Along in the Gnome-Mobile" with the background. Upton Sinclair asked Walt to feature the Gnomobile in 1937 and he finally made a movie in 1967. But what inspired Sinclair to write the book in the first place? Kids? Grandkids? What was happening with lumbering in 1937?
