Bob, I checked that book out on google books when you 1st posted this. on the 9th? page it states "It should be kept in mind, when reading this travelogue, that Steinbeck took liberties with the facts, inventing freely when it served his purposes, using everything in the arsenal of the novelist to make his book a readable vivid narrative" So your deductions might be right. Fun reading!
