Excerpt from A Tight Squeeze, or the Adventures of a Gentleman: Who, on a Wager of Ten Thousand Dollars, Undertook to Go From New York to New Orleans in Three Weeks, Without Money, as a Professional TrampDon't be a poll parrot, Smythe. Tell me what they are. You've been to college and learned to row, and box, and play base ball, and ought to know nearly every thing. Here I am continually reading about them. Every paper you pick up is full of them. Tramp, tramp, tramp, from one end of the paper to the other. There is not a chicken purloined Off a roost; a man killed; a house fired a train ditched; virtue outraged, vice embellished, or deviltry of any kind perpetrated, but this omnipresent scape-goat of the nineteenth century appears to be at the bottom of it all. Now I want to know what a tramp is.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
