Exploring the unique lifestyle of tramps, the book offers an in-depth look at a vanishing part of American history through the author's experiences traveling by freight train. It challenges stereotypes by portraying tramps as hardworking individuals integral to the agricultural economy, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. This revised edition contrasts their culture with modern homelessness, highlighting the socio-economic changes that have led to the decline of the tramp lifestyle. It features 85 photographs, including 35 new images, documenting this significant societal transition.
