P.D.S., the author of Boxcar Art; Freight Train Monikers of the North American Railroads, debuts his second book, Hobo Spirits Campfire Tales. Step into the steel pulse of America's forgotten highways - Hobo Spirits Campfire Tales takes you deep into the boxcar underworld through the voices of modern-day hoboes, kings of the rails, and outlaw historians. In these 30 raw and riveting chapters, you'll meet legends like Minnesota Jim, Dante Fucwha, Stretch, and Dan'L Boone-the F.T.R.A. founder whose story has never been told before. From hobo jungles and jail cells to secret hobo gatherings and derailments, this book captures a vanishing world in all its grit, heart, and unflinching truth. Part oral history, part folklore, and part poetry of the rails, Hobo Spirits Campfire Tales is more than a ride-it's an unfiltered look at freedom, survival, and the brotherhood of the steel wheel.
Hobo Spirits Campfire Tales documents the adventures of train riding hoboes and tramps. Interviews with hobo kings, tramps, and members of the infamous tramp gang, Freight Train Riders of America, shed light on the hobo underworld of North America.
