Notes of an Itinerant Policeman (1900)

Notes Of An Itinerant Policeman is a memoir written by Josiah Flynt and published in 1900. The book describes Flynt's experiences as a ""tramp"" or ""hobo"" in the late 19th century. Flynt, who was an educated man, chose to live as a vagabond for several years in order to gain insight into the lives of the homeless and destitute. During his travels, Flynt encountered a variety of characters, including other tramps, criminals, and law enforcement officers. He also witnessed firsthand the harsh realities of poverty, including hunger, illness, and violence. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of Flynt's experiences, such as his encounters with ""professional"" tramps, his experiences in jail, and his observations on the social and economic conditions that led people to become homeless. Notes Of An Itinerant Policeman is an important historical document that provides a unique perspective on the lives of the impoverished and marginalized in the late 19th century. It is also a well-written and engaging memoir that offers insight into the mind of a man who chose to live outside of society's norms in order to better understand it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
