On cover: Foreword by Alan Marshall.
Frank Huelin carried his swag for several years during the Depression years. The author describes his experiences as a hobo on the move, detailing the constant fight for survival and the day-to-day struggles of the itinerant unemployed. This is, however, more than a accurate historical record of the period, and more than a brilliant sociological chronicle: it is a story coloured with humour, compassion, authentic speech idioms and lively characterization.
