Ridin’ Free, Short Stories of Steam and Diesel Hoboing





Ridin' Free is a spectacular firsthand account of riding the rails from the Depression Era right through to the present day.  Author Guitar Whitey (aka Robert J. Symmonds, a "cross-over" hobo who rode during both eras - steam and diesel) blesses us with this sizzling packet of short stories, banged out one time on a manual typewriter, authentic as they are 100% original.

   World War II sailor, merchant marine, folk guitarist, poet, traveling philosopher and time-tested hobo, eighties-something Whitey lays down the ways of the road, chapter, line and verse, in a fascinating collection of action-packed tales of the high iron rail.  Destined to become a travel adventure classic, Ridin' Free grabs hold of the reader and never lets go from start to finish.  You'll remember these stories for years to come.  Enjoy!
