Hoboes: Bindlestiffs, Fruit Tramps and the Harvesting of the West
Mark Wyman
When the railroad stretched its steel rails across the American West in the 1870s, it opened up a vast expanse of territory. Agriculture followed the railroads, making way for Kansas wheat and Colorado sugar beets and Washington apples. With this industry came an unavoidable need for harvest workers. This work portrays the lives of these hoboes.
