''The Tramp at Home'' is a novel written by Lee Meriwether. The book tells the story of a man named Jim, who is a tramp and wanders around the country. However, after years of living on the road, Jim decides to return to his hometown and settle down. He struggles to adapt to a more settled life, but eventually finds happiness and contentment. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including a wealthy businessman who helps him get back on his feet, and a young woman who becomes his love interest. The novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the challenges of adapting to a new way of life. It is a heartwarming and engaging story that will appeal to readers who enjoy character-driven fiction.1889. Illustrated. Meriwether, a Special Agent of the U.S. Department of Labor, gives an account of his travels in the kingdoms of the Old World and in America studying the condition of workingmen. This volume contains not dry figures, but a few of the incidents-amusing and otherwise-that befell me in my intercourse with the working classes of America, together with a brief account of a journey to the Sandwich Islands undertaken in connection with an investigation into the condition of sailors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
