Publisher's Synopsis

""Yankee Hobo in the Orient"" is a travelogue written by John Patric, an American hobo who traveled across Asia during the 1920s. The book chronicles his adventures as he hitchhiked and rode trains through Japan, China, and Southeast Asia, encountering a variety of people and cultures along the way. Patric's vivid descriptions of the landscapes, food, and customs of the places he visited provide a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era. He also offers insights into the political and social issues of the time, including the rise of communism in China and the tensions between Japan and the United States. Overall, ""Yankee Hobo in the Orient"" is a compelling and entertaining account of one man's journey through a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
