15 Rules from the Hobo Ethical Code of 1889

Posted on by

When I was growing up it wasn’t unusual to see references to hobos in television shows and movies.  These were men [can’t remember seeing or hearing of female hobos, but there must have been] who rode the rails, traveled the country, picking up odd jobs or a free meal before moving on to the next town.

Perhaps hobos are now lumped in the homeless category, although I think there is a difference.
