Book excerpt: On a cold, gray day in 1991, a kid named Eddy Joe Cotton left home with nothing but a warm jacket, some well-worn boots, and a few crumpled dollar bills. His father had just fired him, not for the first time, but for the last. He didn’t see his father again for two years.

By taking to the trains, Eddy Joe Cotton learned the difficulty of life lived on the margins, the fading importance of a once-celebrated American folk hero, and the ultimate meaning of freedom.

Book excerpt: Following the stock market crash of 1929, one of the greatest depressions since 1873 hit the world. Jobs evaporated causing a human wave to sweep North America seeking any kind of employment they could find. Often these men resorted to begging for food as they passed through the various communities. This was especially true in the farming areas where money had always been in short supply, but food was more plentiful. These men, soon known as hobos, travelled on the slow moving trains passing through these rural areas and appealed to the local farmers and their families for help while they continued their quest for employment. This book tells the stories of some of the people who fed these travelling men.

Book Synopsis One More Train to Ride by : Cliff (Oats) Williams
Download or read book One More Train to Ride written by Cliff (Oats) Williams and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawn from intimate interviews with 14 modern-day "steel rail nomads," One More Train to Ride provides a revealing picture of today's American hobo. Interspersed with their stories are original poems and songs echoing the ancient lyricism and loneliness of life on the road. Their connections with the past make the experiences of these hoboes even more striking, as they ride freight trains and jungle up in hobo camps, light years away from the 21st-century cyberworld -- yet touching the very core of American freedom and individualism. Cliff Williams skillfully elicits details of family background, motives, and clear insights into the daily life and philosophy of the modern hobo. With its evocative link to the past, One More Train to Ride continues a long tradition of books on hobo oral history, including Nels Anderson's The Hobo (1923) and Thomas Minehan's Boy and Girl Tramps of America (1934).
Book Synopsis The Stinky Kid by : Joseph Louis Garces III
Download or read book The Stinky Kid written by Joseph Louis Garces III and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oh my! What is that smell? Why, it's The Stinky Kid! The Stinky Kid takes a humorous approach to talking about the always sensitive, uncomfortable, and embarrassing subject of personal hygiene with children. As children get older and start to approach that time in their lives when the hormones kick in and the odors become unbearable, hygiene is often not an easy subject to bring up. Drawing on his experiences as an elementary teacher, author Joe Garces wrote this non-confrontational and humorous story as a way to break-the-ice with his students when it came time to teach personal hygiene to his classes. About the Author After completing a series of adventure themed books based on his three sons and their individual interests, author Joe Garces is back with a new title, The Stinky Kid. Following Garrett the Firefighter, Tyler the Cowpoke, and Ryan the Pirate, in The Stinky Kid Joe takes a step away from basing the story on actual people and instead draws from his experience as a former elementary school teacher. A graduate of Southern Utah University with a degree in elementary education, Joe is a firefighter and arson investigator for the City of Oxnard in Southern California. Joe lives in the small town of Santa Paula, CA with his extraordinary wife Taira and their three decidedly non-stinky boys, Garrett, Tyler, and Ryan. About the Illustrator This is the first collaboration between author Joe Garces and illustrator, Irene Czusz. Irene is a professional graphic designer and children's book illustrator, who specializes in combining sketching, painting, and digital art. Being interested in art since she was a child, Irene's art draws from her childhood experiences and dreams. Irene loves nature, good stories, and movies and her exquisite sense of humor shines through in her art. She is the owner of Image Art Factory in Cracow, Poland.

Book Synopsis The Areas of My Expertise by : John Hodgman
Download or read book The Areas of My Expertise written by John Hodgman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the great tradition of the American almanac, The Areas of My Expertise is a brilliant and hilarious compendium of handy reference tables, fascinating trivia, and sage wisdom on all topics large and small. Although bestsellers such as Poor Richard’s Almanack and The Book of Lists were certainly valuable, they also were largely true. Here is a different kind of handy desk reference, one in which all of the historical oddities and amazing true facts are sifted through the singular, illuminating imagination of John Hodgman—which is the nice way of saying: He made it all up. John Hodgman brings his considerable expertise to bear in answering all of the questions book buyers have been asking: -What are the mottoes of the 51 United States? THE ANSWER IS PROVIDED -Who were the U.S. presidents who had hooks for hands? THE ANSWER IS PROVIDED -What role does the Yale secret society “Skull and Bones” play in the secret world government? THERE IS NO SECRET WORLD GOVERNMENT -What was the menu at the first Thanksgiving, and did it include eels? Technically, that is two questions, but do not apologize, for John Hodgman shall answer them both . . . LATER. -Aside from a compendium of fake trivia, what is the best kind of book to write? A SIMPLE TABLE OF THE 55 MOST DRAMATIC LITERARY SITUATIONS PROVIDES THE ANSWER, and John Hodgman is the author of that table. Imagine if The Book of Lists had been rewritten by Peter Cook and Jorge Luis Borges under the pseudonym of “John Hodgman” and then renamed The Areas of My Expertise, and you will only begin to have a sense of the dizzying, uproarious, sublimely weird, and strangely wise journey that is contained within this book (along with all the pages and words). Perfect for anyone who thirsts for knowledge, and especially for collectors of books of fake trivia, The Areas of My Expertise offers through absurdity a better understanding of the world we share—and recognizes that while the truth may be stranger than fiction, it is never as strange as lies . . . or as true. Look out for John Hodgman's latest book, Vacationland, available from Viking in Fall 2017.

Download or read book Mulligan Stew written by Barbara Hacha and published by Mediamix Productions. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since track was first laid for the great locomotives, hobos have listened to the call of the rails, lured by the possibility of free transportation to another place-if they could make their way unnoticed and unharmed. They rode the rails for various reasons-to escape economic hardship, satisfy an urge for adventure, or simply to feed their wanderlust. Along the way, they developed their own culture. Mulligan Stew contains a variety of ingredients from the hobo culture: hobo life as it was lived at the turn of the twentieth century, women hobos, hobo heroes, hobo signs and symbols, contemporary hobos telling of their experiences, and hobo traditions from the National Hobo Convention in Britt, Iowa-an event that has opened a door into the hobo world every August for more than 100 years. The convention motto is "There's a Little Bit of Hobo in All of Us." Readers who are hobos at heart are invited to open this book and savor the stew. Praise for Mulligan Stew: No book I know has captured the varieties of hobo experience as well as Barbara Hacha's Mulligan Stew, and in a form that perfectly fits the phenomenon... -Luther the Jet, Hobo King 1995-96
