The favorite book of William Burroughs. A journey into the hobo underworld, freight hopping around the still Wild West, becoming a highwayman and member of the yegg (criminal) brotherhood, getting hooked on opium, doing stints in jail or escaping, often with the assistance of crooked cops or judges. Our lost history revived.

With an introduction by Burroughs. A BookSense 77 selection.

Started off slightly slow (I have a very short attention span) but after a short while I was completely hooked.

It is now safe to say that this is one of my favourite books and I recommend it to everyone.

A must listen!
