Summary "From North Carolina to Southern California Without a Ticket and How I Did It" by John Peele is a memoir written in the early 20th century. This engaging work narrates the adventurous and often challenging journey of Peele as he travels without a ticket across the United States, starting from North Carolina and heading toward Southern California. The book draws the reader into the life of a young man who chooses to navigate the world as a "hobo," showcasing his resourcefulness, encounters, and the lessons he learns along the way. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Peele's adventure as he prepares to leave home for the first time, armed with just a small amount of money, letters of recommendation, and a ticket purchased as a ruse to avoid upsetting his family. As he arrives in Wilmington, he faces immediate challenges, including the fear of being apprehended as a deserter due to the military-style uniform he's wearing. His resolve is tested through a series of amusing and precarious situations, including some close calls with authorities and encounters with colorful characters who assist him. As he begins to master the art of "hoboing," the story showcases both the excitement of his travels and the underlying themes of growth, resilience, and the pursuit of adventure.
