These stories of authentic old-time hobos who still ride the rails ? Steamtrain Maury, Tumbleweed, Reefer Charlie, and others ? pull the reader into a world of rambling adventure. The author, a middle-class woman who served as the executive director of the Indiana Transportation Museum (and whose father at one time road the rails himself), teamed up with some of these modern-day hobos to jump the trains in search of adventure and self-knowledge. In a tribute to her spirit and friendship, she was given the hobo name Gypsy Moon and elected as a National Queen of the Hobos. This fascinating book ends with a delicious collection of hobo recipes, including Norm's Muskrat and All-Day Long Jungle Jambalaya.
