The Trail of the Tramp, unabridged republishing of "The Trail of the Tramp" an autobiographical book that tells the experiences of "The Rambler" Leon Ray Livingston originally published in 1913. The story centers on a person named "Canada Joe." About the Author: Leon Ray Livingston (1872-1944) was a famous hobo and author, travelling under the name "A-No.1" and often referred to as "The Rambler." He perfected the hobo symbols system, which let other hobos know where there are generous people, free food, jobs, vicious dogs, and so forth. He was not a poor man; he simply preferred a life of travelling the country by train to sitting at home. In his memoir The Ways of the Hobo, Livingston admitted that he was uneducated, but began his self-education at the age of thirty-five. He has been lauded by many American historians as the King of the Hobos and has followings all over the USA. Livingston wrote twelve books on travelling the hobo way. His books brought attention not only to the state of the homeless in America, but also to the excitement and benefits of travelling the country for amusement. He lived and published his books in Erie, Pennsylvania, and Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania.
