Bound for Glory is the partially fictionalized autobiography of folk singer and songwriter Woody Guthrie.

The book describes Guthrie's childhood, his travels across the United States as a hobo on the railroad, and his recognition as a singer.

Originally published in 1943, it was republished with a foreword written by Studs Terkel following the 1976 film adaptation.

[3] Clifton Fadiman, reviewing the book in The New Yorker, said "Someday people are going to wake up to the fact that Woody Guthrie and the ten thousand songs that leap and tumble off the strings of his music box are a national possession, like Yellowstone and Yosemite, and part of the best stuff this country has to show the world.

[2] The Boomtown Rats, an Irish rock band, took their name from Woody Guthrie's boyhood gang in the book.
