Bound for Glory is the partially fictionalized autobiography of folk singer and songwriter Woody Guthrie. The book describes Woody's childhood, his travels across the United States as a hobo on the railroad, and towards the end his beginning to get recognition as a singer. Some of the experiences of fruit picking and a hobo camp are similar to those described in "The Grapes of Wrath".

Originally released in 1943, it was re-released with a foreword written by Studs Terkel following the 1976 film adaptation.
