Travelogue From an Unruly Youth
Travelogue From an Unruly Youth by D. C. Jesse Burkhardt. Traveling North America in his early 20s via freight train brought freedom, adventure, danger with extreme heat and cold and romance to Mr. Burkhardt. He journeyed on a bed of steel, ties and gravel, never sure where his path would carry him from day to day. Ride along with this railroad hobo and listen in on interesting conversations with the railroad yard workers, getting some friendly help and advice from the railroad crews, all while avoiding the "police" as empty boxcars are checked for "Strays". Share in some fantastic adventures and develop a taste for the sound of whistles, horns and train yard noises. All aboard the empty boxcar! Softbound, 172 pages.
