The Reluctant Spirit

by Mr. James R. Snedden

During the "Great Depression" many people took to the road. They were called hobos, drifters, tramps or bums. Among those were bankers, lawyers, businessmen, farmers and stockbrokers: men who lost it all, and ashamed of their failure and unable to feed their families. They begged, stole and/or did odd jobs to earn food; they searched backyard clotheslines for clothing and whatever else they could utilize.This is the story of Josh Smith, a hobo who during that time took to the road and foraged in the heartland for food, and a place to bed down at night; however, Josh's drifting lifestyle came to an abrupt halt in the fall of 1939 in Silo, Kansas.It is also a story of Craig Richards, who is summoned decades later by those from the spirit world as the one mortal person who can release them from this world into the next.
