It was the railway system which moulded the American hobo into the legendary figure he became, especially in the depression years, but surviving until today. His origins, however, go back to the early pioneer days. He is in fact a unique and indigenous American product, 'capriciously used and discarded by a callous but dynamic system'. Revered and romanticized by some as the prototype of free man, he is hated and feared by others for his nonconformity. In order to trace the origins of the various types of hobo and their effect on American life, Kenneth Allsop travelled 9,000 miles across the continent, following old hobo routes, interviewing and researching as he went along.

They were the generations who should really have been the most screwed up but they weren`t! They survived the horrors of great wars, monster depressions, savage recessions, rationing, bombing, living for years in holes in the ground, persecuted, derived and bankrupt. They should have been crazy in a normal world but somehow ended up normal in a crazy world. Everything started badly yet they had the guts to lift themselves up and get out to help to restore a ruined planet. This is a continuation of the story that began in the book 'Bye Bye Baby Boy Big Boy Blues'. The story of a family and in particular one boy who endured it all, grew up and sort of triumphed. Who went out to put himself and things back together. It covers very different ground from that of the localised territory of the first book but in the same down to earth way. This envelopes the world and people in a very different manner to that described in most books. Ordinary people in extra-ordinary situations with their feet still firmly on the ground, characters that emerge full of life, fun, ability and humour.

The nearly two hundred rare and dramatic photographs in this work depict life at work in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Work?often arduous, low paid, and dangerous?defined the region during its period of supercharged development from the 1880s to the 1920s. A final section records work during the depression and war years in the 1930s and 1940s. ø Complementing the photographs are statements by workers themselves, government analysts, and later observers. The author's essays and commentary on the photographs demonstrate, that, from the beginning of U.S. control, wage labor was crucial to integrating the Pacific Northwest into national and international networks of trade, commerce, and industry. The development of lumber, mining, fishing, railroad, and service industries in the New Northwest marked the transformation of the region from an isolated periphery to a functioning component of the world economy and culture. ø Schwantes also deals with the tension between the supposed freedom and individualism of the frontier West on the one hand and the constraints of wage labor as practiced in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries on the other. This tension gave rise to an often militant trade unionism and political radicalism that was particularly marked in the Northwest.

Soul music and country music propel American popular culture.
