Description: A Tramp's Philosophy by Bart Kennedy Cynical, crafty, and beholden to no man, Bart Kennedy roamed free of the burdens of society. The work is a distillation of observances acquired during his years of traveling, c. 1881 to 1920. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This new entry in Feral Houses Tramp Lit Series is Bart Kennedys late work distilling his life and experiences into a concept for living. He includes insights on everything from religion to civilisation, crime, and the lure of the open road. No social system or state can be really worth anything where the paramount aim is not to allow the individual to develop to the fullest, both mentally and physically. And this aim has never been the aim of any civilised state. The aim of all civilised states has been to keep the masses in subjugation for the benefit of cliques. And this is as true of republics as it is of autocracies. The money clique that rules America is more oppressive than is the Grand Ducal clique of Russia. It has a far worse effect on the American character. Author Biography Kennedy (1861-1930) was born in Leeds to Irish parents. From the age of 6 until about the age of 20 he worked in cotton mills and machine shops in Manchester, England. At age 20 he left England, working as a deckhand on a cargo ship which landed him in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Illiterate and with no money or formal training, he used the force of his strength (and fist) to tramp his way westward across North America. He worked at various laboring jobs including as an oysterman on a skipjack on the Chesapeake Bay; a miner in New York; building railroad sheds in the Canadian Rockies; and panning for gold in the Klondike.He eventually ended up in California where he had various jobs in the theater, including as a singer and actor, before returning to England where he married in 1897.
