Sinopsis

The Tramp at Home follows journeys through the Northwest and a clear plea for fair work and sensible policy.

This nonfiction travelogues the author’s westward explorations, from Puget Sound’s islands to Oregon, Idaho, and beyond. It blends vivid scenes with reflections on labor, poverty, and how laws and government shape everyday life. The book invites readers to consider how work, land, and policy affect ordinary people and the nation’s future.

  • See rugged coastlines and grand canals that evoke open, adventurous travel through the Northwest.
  • Hear observations about wages, immigration, and how tariffs and land laws influence where people live and work.
  • Meet workers, settlers, and communities as the author investigates labor questions and social conditions.
  • Follow practical, on-the-ground insights into how policy could improve opportunity for tenants, farmers, and laborers alike.
Ideal for readers interested in travel writing with a steady social conscience, and for those curious about late‑19th‑century Northwest perspectives on work and prosperity.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Tramp at Home

Herbert spencer argues that if left to themselves private individuals would perceive what measures are desirable for their welfare, and would carry out such measures without the intervention of Government. This will not always hold. Certainly, were the collee tion of statistics left to private enterprise, few would be collected. An enthusiastic individual might be found here and there hunting data concerning his particular hobby; there might be enthusiasts upon all questions of public importance, but their efforts would be desui tory, would lack combination, and the results, as far as the public is concerned, would be almost nothing.
