Descriere completă

One More Train to Ride provides a revealing picture of the American hobo of today, drawn from intimate interviews with fourteen contemporary hoboes. Interspersed with their stories are original hobo poems and songs echoing the ancient lyricism and loneliness of life on the road. This connectivity with the past makes the experiences of these hoboes even more striking, as they ride freight trains and jungle up in hobo camps, light years away from a twenty-first century cyber world-yet touching the very core of American freedom and individualism. Given its evocative link with the past, this book is an important contribution to hobo scholarship. Not as a weighty tome, but in continuing a long tradition of hobo oral history relied on in such classic works as Nels Anderson's The Hobo(1923) and Thomas Minehan's Boy and Girl Tramps of America (1934).
