American Hobo Fading From Scene In Hurry Nowadays
A 1940s portrait of migrant worker Ben Benson, self styled King of the Hoboes, as he warns New York and the nation that increasing cost of living and government paternalism push hobos toward extinction.

Benson notes fewer opportunities, rising food scarcity, and a reluctance of society to accept “tramps.” He reflects on his future plans to exit the hobo movement and move toward youth outreach.
