A great story. If you like hobo stories, you might want to read a book called “Once A Hoboobo”, by Monty Holm. Monty left home at 13 years old during the depression because his stepmother beat him unmercifully. He left Rapelje, MT, walk to Malta and got a job as a sheep herder. When he got so lonely, he couldn’t stand it anymore out in the breaks by himself, he would go back to town and get on the train and hobo around the country. Long story short, he ended up a multi millionaire. A great read if you’re interested in that life. It was not an easy way to live.
