What was the name for people who decided not to settle in one place but instead traveled along rail lines during the Depression?
Hobo was the name of persone who were homeless and traveled along rail lines in search of hopping on trains.
I believe the answer is: Hoboes
Hoboes is the collection of people who lost their home due to the massive unemployment which exist during the great depression. Since they can afford to rent a place, they are forced travel along rail lines and make small shelter from leftover metals as a protection from the rain.
