KING OF THE ROAD- THE HOBO STORY
1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries
The story of hoboes- the men who rode and still ride the rails, formerly in search of employment and today in search of adventure, despite the fact that trespassing on railroad property or trains in considered a crime.
The hoboes have their own unique language and a strict code of conduct and today the town of Britt Iowa still holds an annual convention to honor them.
