With an arresting mix of homespun wisdom, gritty realism, and poignant selfexamination, and set against the backdrop of a young mans coming of age, Hobo is a modern examination of one of Americas oldest and most revered folk heroes.A free spirit, Zebu Recchias mother set out on her own when her son was only two years old. Left behind, the tight family unit of father and son grew up to be more like brothers than parent and child. Such an intense relationship created struggles and painbut also a form of independence that gave both men the mettle to face life alone when necessary. When Zebu was nineteen, he left behind his hippie on a Harley father in a brickyard on a cold winter day in Denver, Colorado, and set out with three things he knew he could rely on: strong boots, a warm coat, and a will to roam.He took off down the road at sunset with his thumb out and a keen desire to see the world on his own terms. His goal was to end up in Mexico. It had always been his fathers mecca of personal freedom and absolute beauty, and so it became his, too. When Zebu jumped his first train, he was forever changed. His passion for the rails and the hobo way of life transformed him into Eddy Joe Cotton, a young hobointraining.Crisscrossing the countryside with a motley band of companions and mentors, Eddy Joe learns both the dark and the beautiful sides of life on the road. Always headed vaguely toward Mexico, Eddy Joe slowly realizes that the experience of the journey is far more important than the thrill of reaching the destination.Hobo is a celebration of the cultural and historical significance of the hobo in American society. Its also the story of what Eddy Joe learned on the rails, and of the fascinating, worldlywise men who became his teachers. Eddy Joe Cotton paints a multilayered portrait of this strangely enduring lifestyleof the men who ride the trains, the tricks of the trade, the vocabulary they use, the places they camp, the train yards they avoid, the gear they are sure to carry, and the stories and lessons each one imparts. Told in Eddy Joes infectious and original voice, Hobo is a heartfelt exploration of a fascinating subculture, and of one mans place in a world that has all but been forgotten.
