HOBO JUNGLE

When I lived on Kenyon Street, off Maple Avenue,not far from the JUNCTION in Claremont, New Hampshire, a few tramps and hobos came around and knocked on the doors of houses, sometimes offering to do chores or work but usually looking for some food or a handout....... As you went down the avenue towards the JUNCTION where railroads from Concord, the State Capital, and some from Massachusetts to the South or some trains from WRJCT(WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VERMONT) came from the North and all met or passed through there, there was in the wooded area(now near a condo group and some other houses) on the right, near the line from Concord, a 'hobo jungle' as it was called, where makeshift structures were erected in some manner by those 'KNIGHTS OF THE OPEN ROAD'...this was in late 30's as the DEPRESSION had not abated or 'ended' until the beginning of WWII....
