5.0 out of 5 stars
Great overview of the hobo life., April 14, 1999
This review is from: On Hobos and Homelessness (Heritage of Sociology Series) (Paperback)
I used this book in 1985 for a grad school paper. I was shocked that it had been funded with public money because it was such a good book. Anderson describes and analyzes the hobo jungle in Chicago, making it come alive as he does. An excellent book.
