In this companion book to the film "Who Is Bozo Texino" (shot entirely aboard speeding freight trains), Daniel mixes experimental and documentary to provide a captivating look at a little-known art form--hobo boxcar graffiti . Tracing the origins to boxcar graffiti from over 100 years ago, Daniel follows rail graffitis' evolution to modern day hobo gatherings, freight hopping trips and secret hobo jungles. Along the way Daniel interviews numerous old timers who have spent yearson the rails drawing their monikers, among them graffiti legends Colossus of Roads, The Rambler, Herby (RIP) and yes even the ever-illusive Bozo Texino. The interviews provide a fascinating glimpse into the harsh realities of tramp life.

I picked this up because I really enjoyed Bill Daniel's documentary "Who is Bozo Texino?" There is a good overlap to the material. Some of it is a duplication from the film, but I didn't feel like I got ripped off. I really enjoyed reading the stories in here. Not recommended for anyone not interested in the lives of hobos and rail workers, highly recommended for anyone who is.
A quirky little book dealing with an admittedly pretty obscure topic (hobo graffiti). For those with an interest in this subject, it is an enjoyable bit of nostalgic Americana. I'd recommend it as background for the equally quirky and enjoyable film "Who is Bozo Texino?"
