Book Description
Excerpt from From Coast to Coast With Jack London There is a dark side to a tramp's life: for every mile stolen on trains, there is one escape from a horrible death; for each mile of beautiful scenery and food in plenty, there are many weary miles of hard walking with no food or even water through mountain gorges and over parched des erts; for each warm summer night, there are ten bitter-cold, long winter nights; for every kindness, there are a score of unfriendly acts. A tramp is constantly hounded by the minions of the law; is shunned by all humanity, and never knows the meaning of home and friends. To tell the truth, the Road is a pitiful exist ence all the way through, and what is the end? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
