Surviving as a hobo in the late-nineteenth century is vividly portrayed through Jack London's personal experiences traveling the railways of North America. His time spent dodging conductors, navigating jail, and hustling for meals not only shaped his storytelling abilities but also deepened his empathy for society's underdogs. This collection of essays and tales, blending humor with heartbreak, offers a compelling glimpse into a forgotten chapter of North American life, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of those on the margins.
