Wyckoff is a collection of personal narratives drawn from the author’s experiences as a day laborer in America, written in the early 20th century. The book details Wyckoff’s observations and interactions while traveling from Connecticut to California, with a particular focus on the lives of unsophisticated workers and tramps of his time. The narratives aim to provide insight into the struggles and realities of laborers, including the complexities of social and economic issues faced by those valiantly navigating their lives in a rapidly changing America. The opening portion introduces the reader to Wyckoff's unique approach as he recounts his experiences meeting a young man named Farrell, whom he describes as a tramp. By framing himself as a working man rather than a tramp, Wyckoff emphasizes the fluidity of identity in relation to employment circumstances. The narrative explores themes of loneliness, camaraderie, and the human condition, as Wyckoff and Farrell share a day's journey filled with reflections on their pasts, ambitions, and societal challenges, such as the pursuit of honest work in a world fraught with poverty and uncertainty. The dialogue between them paints a vivid picture of the labor landscape of late 19th-century America, making this collection both engaging and thought-provoking for readers interested in historical social commentary.
