Comments for Sister of the Road Book: Boxcar Bertha

although it is a fictional book, it's sort of mishmash of actual events and people. it's a great book. emily
Dr Ben Reitman, self proclaimed "King of the Hobos" keeps your eyes glued to the pages as you read this tale of the (sadly) fictional character Box Car Bertha Thompson. She takes to the road to experience every aspect of the underworld "I had wanted to know how it felt to be a hobo, a radical, a prostitute, a thief, a reformer, a social worker & a revolutionist. Now I know". KatieMutated
Yeah, this book actually isn't an autobiography. Apparently in the beginning it was advertised as one. Here's a little note from the publisher "In this, the 4th time that Boxcar Bertha has been reissued, we feel obliged for the first time to make it plain that this is in fact a work of fiction. This takes nothing away from the book as far as we are concerned." Khris
Actually, a fictional book feed

Guess the letters and numbers (passphrase riddle) -- "y", 2 chars before C, 2 chars before small V and then :4: ; 2 chars before small Z, /J/ & ((??? - 5) - 3) = -3 and not a "M", but → retype that here
Because of ridiculous spambots, you must prove you are a human by retyping this scrambled number/letter scheme. Once proven human, you can post freely for a month.
