This sociological classic shows how the railroad tramp's status as a deviant changed from frontier itinerant to post settlement vagrant; from class conscious proletariat in the Depression to the damaged post WWII vet. The third edition (with new photos) discusses how today the freights have become the milieu of violent gangs who transport drugs, human traffickers, and serial killers.

New, nuanced edit of a narrative describing author's five week immersion with the quintessential tramp of the era, Carl.
