What I Found Out About Hoboes Continued from Double Page
The narrative follows a mother and child as they travel by freight, hitchhiking along the West Coast from Spokane to Seattle and beyond. They face theft, danger, hunger, and near disasters, sharing meals with hoboes, trading shelter for help, and enduring police detentions. They witness Hollywood and Beverly Hills, endure a coyotecursed night, and reach New Jersey after an 8,000 mile odyssey. The voyage ends with reflections on hoboes, their view of home, bachelorhood, and a budding interest in organizing the Knights of the Road for better welfare.
