Description
Robert Reynolds wrote Wanderlust, a memoir of tramp travel printed in New York in 1913 by the Broadway Publishing Company. A front picture shows the author making one grand plunge to grab the rail of a baggage car. Reynolds gave the book to two comrades in many of the adventures told in it, Gardner and Conlon.
Chapter one recalls his first escapade, with thrilling scenes in the pine fields and sand hills of Florida. From there the road life rolls on, with freight trains, odd jobs, and close calls. Reynolds writes as a man who loved the road for its own sake. Readers get a firsthand tale of hobo life in the early 1900s, told with gusto.
