Résumé
A true-life tale of a hitchhiker's perilous 12, 000 mile journey across the U. S. in 1929. After taking his exams for the New Jersey Bar, twenty-four year old Harry I. Heller set off on a hitchhiking cross-country adventure. Relying upon his wits and not his wallet, he traveled across the United States without paying a dime for transportation. In the days when a job paid one dollar and seventy five cents per day and seeing a movie cost ten cents, he hitchhiked his way from New Jersey to California.
Among his many escapades, he got lost in the Yosemite Mountains, confronted hungry bears, raced downhill in a moving van with burnt-out brakes, jumped on a speeding train, and climbed Pike's Peak on foot. This true coming-of-age tale shows the courage, fortitude, and determination of a young man following his dream and learning to rely solely on himself. "What a treat! This is a real-life slice of American life that is difficult to comprehend these days.
If I were teaching US history, I'd have this on the reading list for that time period on the very brink of the Depression. Highly recommended for anyone interested in early 20th century US history. Michal Sherring, Author of Done For at the Danford
