The Trail of the Tramp

"The Trail of the Tramp" offers a rare and authentic glimpse into the life of a hobo at the turn of the 20th century. Penned by A-No. 1, a legendary figure within the tramping community, this autobiography is more than just a personal story; it's a powerful social commentary on poverty, freedom, and the open road.

Journey alongside A-No. 1 as he recounts his experiences traveling across America, offering insights into the unwritten rules and vibrant subculture of the tramping life. More than a travelogue, this book presents a first-hand account of a marginalized segment of society, providing valuable sociological observations on the conditions that led men to embrace a life outside the mainstream. "The Trail of the Tramp" is a timeless reflection on the human spirit's enduring desire for independence and adventure, offering a unique historical perspective on American society.
