Made up of travellers without constraints and without limits, the Hobo phenomenon began in the 1920s.
The accumulation of events such as the end of the Civil War, the Great Depression and the profound changes in American society due to industrialization and urbanization put a large part of the population in a delicate situation.
Running out of money and on the verge of expulsion, a Hobo movement was formed.
For the most part it is young, unemployed veterans thirsting for adventure who take to the road and travel far from home. They traveled to the four corners of the United States and began to form groups of several travelers. These homeless travelers take odd jobs in the cities where they make their homes. Working in mines, fields and small structures, they manage to support themselves daily.
