Review: One More Train to Ride: The Underground World of Modern American Hoboes

One More Train to Ride: The Underground World of Modern American HoboesOne More Train to Ride: The Underground World of Modern American Hoboes by Cliff Williams

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


A fun little book to read. Williams relays the stories of various men and women who continue to live as hoboes, the train-hoppers that started significantly during the great depression. Provides first rate insight into the philosophy these individuals carry, what motivates and attracts them to this lifestyle, and random tricks of the trade so to speak. A short book, but provides a nice glimpse into a lives that I think many of us forget even continue to exist.
