Reseña del libro "Hobo Roads: Two Accounts of Living Rough in Early 20th Century America-The Adventures of a Woman Hobo by Ethel Lynn & From North C (en Inglés)"

Journeys to the West coast at the time of the Great San Francisco EarthquakeThis unique Leonaur book contains the personal narratives of two people, a woman and a man, who share with readers their experiences of life on the road and railroads in early 20th century America . Here are two engaging accounts of travelling with empty pockets. The first narrative follows the adventures of a female doctor who in 1908 in Chicago was diagnosed with tuberculosis and advised-for the sake of her health-to return to the warmer climate of California. Despite losing her income and being in financially dire straights she determined not to surrender to her illness. This dauntless lady set off with her husband, who had been ruined in the Bank Panic of 1907, on her epic journey riding a tandem bicycle. The second account by nineteen year old John Peele, an asthmatic, recounts his journey from Tarboro, North Carolina to California and several points in between in 1906.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
