Excerpt: ... important shipping point, and the commerce is nearly all in the hands of large German mercantile houses. Here were warehouses full of coffee, rubber and bark. This bark is the kind quinine is made from and is very valuable. Mahogany logs are exported, also ebony and dye woods. I ran away, just as our schooner was ready to leave, as I had no desire to return to New York. Chapter xvi. "Tramping Across South America." I was offered several nice jobs on account of my knowledge of languages, but that section being very unhealthy and swampy I refused, and made plans to reach Brazil. Here I made the acquaintance of Tom Hanrahan, a boy of my own age, from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He had also deserted a vessel, and was loafing about waiting for a chance to return to the States. Being unable to speak Spanish, he was nearly starved to death. I had him soon thinking my way to go to Brazil and try to make fortunes as others had, and to prove to him that I could manage things pleasantly for both, I began "mooching" among the padres (priests ), German storekeepers, clerks and their wives. In two hours I returned to him with 60 bolivars ($48.00). Tom had not had a square meal for two months, and seeing my success we were soon devoted chums. For two bolivars apiece, we purchased two nice burros, riding being more preferable than walking, as we had a long journey ahead of us. Maracaybo is the shipping point for Bogota, the capital of the Republic of Columbia, 475 miles south, and as there was a single telegraph wire strung from tree to tree all the way, we planned to follow it to Bogota. At Maracaybo whole ship loads are transpacked on the backs of pack mules and burros, and thus transported all over the interior. The narrow path, beaten deep by...

Download or read book The Lives and Extraordinary Adventures of Fifteen Tramp Writers from the Golden Age of Vagabondage written by Ian Cutler and published by Feral House. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combined events of the end of the American Civil War in 1865, the first transcontinental railroad opening in 1869, and the financial crash of 1873, found large numbers—including thousands of former soldiers well used to an outdoor life and tramping—thrown into a transient life and forced to roam the continent, surviving on whatever resources came to hand. For most, the life of the hobo was born out of necessity. For a few it became a lifestyle choice. Some of the latter group committed their adventures to print, both autobiographical and fictional, and together with their British and Irish counterparts, whose wanderlust was fueled by an altogether different genesis, they account for the fifteen tramp writers whose stories and ideas are the subject of this book. The lives of some, like Jack Everson, Jack Black and Tom Kromer, are told in a single volume, others, like Morley Roberts and Stephen Graham, have eighty and fifty published works to their credit respectively. Some remain completely unknown and their books are long since out of print, others, like Trader Horn and Jim Tully, were Hollywood celebrities. Others yet, such as Black, Tulley, Horn, Bart Kennedy, Leon Ray Livingstone, and Jack London, had their stories immortalized in film.

Download or read book I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp written by Richard Hell and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In his poetic memoir, Hell takes us on a tour of a lost world and stakes out his place in cultural history.”—Los Angeles Times “A rueful, battle-scarred, darkly witty observer of his own life and times.”—New York Times The sharp, lyrical, and no-holds- barred autobiography of the iconoclastic writer and musician Richard Hell, charting the childhood, coming of age, and misadventures of an artist in an indelible era of rock and roll. From an early age, Richard Hell dreamed of running away. He arrived penniless in New York City at seventeen; ten years later he was a pivotal voice of the age of punk, cofounding such seminal bands as Television, The Heartbreakers, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids—whose song "Blank Generation" remains the defining anthem of the era, an era that would forever alter popular culture in all its forms. How this legendary downtown artist went from a bucolic childhood in the idyllic Kentucky foothills to igniting a movement that would take over New York and London's restless youth culture—cementing CBGB as the ground zero of punk and spawning the careers of not only Hell himself, but a cohort of friends such as Tom Verlaine, Patti Smith, the Ramones, and Debby Harry—is a mesmerizing chronicle of self-invention, and of Hell's yearning for redemption through poetry, music, and art. An acutely rendered, unforgettable coming-of-age story, I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp evokes with feeling, lyricism, and piercing intelligence both the world that shaped him and the world he shaped.

Book excerpt: A visual exploration and history of one of America's favorite pastimes. Car camping, hike-in tent camping, bivouacking, mountaineering, RV camping, glamping, back yard camping . . . whatever your style, outdoor adventure awaits! For camping enthusiasts, this fascinating (and packable) volume holds a comprehensive look at the origins of the practice and the ways that bring all these enthusiasts together. From the early days of recreational camping in the late nineteenth century through the multitude of modern camping options available today, Making Camp explores the history and evolution of the popular activity through the lens of its most important and familiar components: the campsite, the campfire, the picnic table, the map, the tent, the sleeping bag, as well as the oft invisible systems for delivering water and managing trash. Find out how early nineteenth century German peasants fashioned rudimentary sleeping bags by burrowing into bags full of leaves for the night. Look back over several millennia to learn about the progression of tents from animal skins, goat's hair, and heavy canvas to featherweight nylon. Learn about the ways in which the skills to build and maintain a campfire have been displaced by the portable gas stove. Pinpoint the details of the essential campground map and its unique place in the camping imagination. Each chapter includes a broad range of visuals to help illustrate the rich history of camping and our collective devotion to it, including drawings, patents, diagrams, sketches, paintings, advertisements, and historical photographs. A must-have for avid campers, nature lovers, and all who seek to connect with the universe by sleeping under the stars.
