I set out to experience what life was really like for a hobo during the Great Depression—walking the railroad tracks, sleeping out in the woods, and waking up with nothing but hunger and whatever I could find.

What followed was a meal that made me stop and think about the lives they lived—and the things they were willing to eat.
