Jack London did it before and could have been the model for George Orwell.

There were also some committed photographers and historians in the Federal Art Project during the depression that lived on the road and with the people. Same thing previously with "How the Other Half Lives" and progressives like Jane Addams Hull House for immigrants, et al. I'd put Upton Sinclair in this camp too.
