The opening of the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, Okla., this past spring, the release of a never-before-published Guthrie novel, "House of Earth," last February, and the centennial celebration of his birth last year signal that I'm not alone in wanting to see Guthrie with fresh eyes. At the Snake River, the largest of the tributaries that feed the Columbia as it rolls to the sea, I set my iPod to the "Columbia River Collection" and the GPS for the Grand Coulee Dam.Nick Oxford for The New York TimesA Guthrie pin for sale near the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, Okla. The Columbia songs include all 17 known recordings of the 26 songs that Guthrie wrote during the single month in 1941 when he was working for the Bonneville Power Administration in Portland, Ore. In songs like "Roll On Columbia," which would become the official folk song of Washington State, Guthrie extols the natural and productive landscapes of the region.
