"Perhaps the greatest charm of tramp-life is the absence of monotony. In Hobo Land the face of life is protean -- an ever-changing phantasmagoria, where the impossible happens and the unexpected jumps out of the bushes at every turn of the road." -- Jack London, The Road November 1938. "Lower Douglas Street, Omaha, is one of the hobo centers of the West." 35mm nitrate negative by John Vachon. View full size.
