Dolores, it's about the guys who rode the trains from city to city looking for work. They would stow away and ride for free unless they were caught by the Bulls (men who would beat them with a sticK). This is also part of our History. The Hobo left signs for each other. and someone had the neat idea of making them into a quilt....just like the Farmers's wife, the Civil War Love Letters ..etc.
Sometimes. I had a couple of twin Uncles that hoboed to avoid work.
:lol: :lol: Like anything else, there were good ones, there were bad ones and there were ones like my uncles that just did it to be doing it. They said they wanted to see other places. Of course it didn't help their wives and children much.
