Hobos
have been traveling the US and riding the rails since the Civil War. The image
of the hobo peaked during the depression of the 1930's, when many took to the
rails in a desperate search for work. It must be noted that a hobo is different
from a tramp or a bum. Most hobos would agree that a hobo work, the tramp will
only work when they have to, and the bums will not work at all.
