500 $a"Originally published by A.C. Fifield, London, 1908"--T.p. verso.
520 $a"A vagrant, Welsh de Tocqueville gives an eloquent, dry-eyed report of his tramping adventures in the violent underworld of late 19th century America and Britain in this long out-of-print memoir -- the unlikeliest portrait of the artist as a young man ever written. Although author W.H. Davies eventually became a popular poet, acclaimed by conservative Georgians and the vanguard Ezra Pound alike, he started out as a juvenile delinquent who renounced his home to sail to America. There, he would be schooled by the hard men of the road, and would disdain regular work and subsist by begging -- even after a catstrophic accident hopping trains while on the way to join the Klondike gold rush. Priased by Osbert Sitwell for his "primitive splendour and directness," Davies evokes the insurgent wanderlust that found an American voice in Jack London and Jack Kerouac. It is expressed here in a raucous, true adventure story by the man Shaw called "the incorrigible Supertramp whoe wrote this amazing book" -- Publisher's description, p. [4] of cover.
