Tramp Adrift - A Hobo's True Story

Om Tramp Adrift - A Hobo's True Story

Bart Kennedy (1861-1930), from the age of 6 until about the age of 20, worked in cotton mills and machine shops in Manchester, England. At age 20, pennyless, he left England, working as a deckhand on a cargo ship to Philadelphia. Illiterate and with no money or formal training, he used the force of his youth to "tramp" his way westward across North America. At low-paying jobs, he worked as an oysterman, a prisoner in New Orleans, a miner, a railroad snow-shed builder in the Canadian Rockies, gold panning in the Klondike and as a singer and actor in California. This book, "Tramp Adrift - A Hobo's True Story", follows his life as a wandering hobo tramp with all its endeavors, failures and triumphs. Bart Kennedy's life story is one of the most entertaining biographies ever written. The reader will be immersed in his narratives of the tramp life of a real hobo.
