Chapter 23 starts by talking about how the migrants came together and started to make music and folktales.
There is a camp dance being planned and a few men are planning to riot on the same night. Ezra Hutson has people watch for any sign of the riot. Rose goes to the dance but doesn't dance because she is worried about what the religious lady told her about pregnant mother who dance. Tom is looking out for the riot when he sees three men trying to cause trouble. They are evicted from the camp but they tell everyone that they were paid to start the riot. They were paid by a large company to try and get the migrants out of California. They start a union against the company and march through the town with rifles. There hasn't been a problem since.
California is starting to wither the same way Oklahoma was. Farmers watch there plants wither and their debts rise.
