The Hobo is a fascinating look at a window of history that defined so much of what we think of as America. I learned so much working on this book. Anyone interested in US history should read or (even better!) listen to it.
I appreciate the opportunity to give voice to @robertsuits.bsky.social book!
We are delighted to announce the publication of The Hobo: A History of America’s First Climate Migrants by our Lecturer in Environmental History, Dr Robert Suits!
