<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2653885, member: 24633&quot;]The massive unemployment associated with the Great Depression forced many of the homeless people to take to the rails in search of work. Homeless camps were often established near the railroad tracks and to pass the time the transients occupied their time by carving. Hobo nickels marked this period in our history just like scrimshaw did for the whalers of the 18th &amp; 19th centuries.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
