A restless wanderer hits the rails in hard-times America, learning tramp codes, sharing stew in jungle camps, and outwitting railroad bulls. Between hunger and comradeship, brutal vagrancy laws and sudden kindness, he rides boxcars, does time, and joins a ragged army of the unemployed. A raw, quick-witted memoir of freedom’s price and the country revealed from atop the rattling rods.
