[2] Shortly after returning to the United States in 1898, he received an invitation from railroad executive L. F. Loree to return to tramping and spy on the tramps using the railroad, as well as the private policemen who were supposed to be enforcing the anti-tramp rules. After a month of this, he decided he could do the job while riding in comfort as a passenger. After several years of experience as a vagrant, he had published Tramping with Tramps in 1899, a picaresque study. His further works dealing with the lower and criminal classes include The Powers that Prey (1900) , a collection of short stories written in collaboration with Alfred Hodder (writing pseudonymously as Francis Walton) , Notes of an Itinerant Policeman (1900) , The World of Graft (1901) , a volume of short stories, and The Little Brother (1902) , his only sustained attempt in fiction. His name is perpetuated in the annals of fiction as the dedicatee of Jack London's The Road. He died in Chicago. " (from Wikipedia). Very Good+ .
