<p>The Hobo King</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In the decades before the Great Depression, it was common for folks known as hobos to wander from&nbsp;town to town searching for work, dangerously hopping on and off moving trains to reach their next destination. A man named Jeff Davis believed that hobos deserved a chance to care for themselves, and in 1913, he opened a hotel where hobos would provide for each other in exchange for lodging. This concept spread across the country, and Jeff Davis would become known as The Hobo King.</p>
