We always called them crusties ... they're an old feature at this point
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! I love the way the women are looking right at the camera. I prefer the term traveler as that's how they choose to live. The photo captures that.
ReplyDeleteOh for the old days of Hobo culture! My Grandfather, a successful butcher, had a circle of Hobo friends in the 1930's & 1940's - the riders of the rails....they had tough, hardscrabble lives, but there was a dignity there. I grew up hearing their stories as they were older when I was a kid late 1950's, early 1960's...Selkirk Tom, Boxcar Eddie,
