"The most fascinating book in years....It has remained at our elbow nights and days and burned its story into our memory." -Chicago Daily News "A fearless autobiographical narrative, a vividly human chronicle as well as a distinguished literary achievement. In the past ten years this 'vagabond-poet' has been good newspaper copy because of his picturesque habits and his refreshing nonconformity to the amenities of society....Whether the details of these sensational adventures are true or false is of small moment. The story of his inner growth has the clear ring of truth....This is real autobiography. It avoids the pretense of accuracy which characterizes the journals of mediocrity, but it gives the breath of life to the figure it portrays....Few novels have the natural charm and poetic beauty of this personal narrative. There are no evasions and no polite subterfuges. Whatever has contributed to the molding of the character of John Gregory - or Harry Kemp - whether it be good or bad as measured by our inelastic standards, is told without fear or shame." -The Nation "One of the most enthralling of modern autobiographies....Many an autobiography has been ruined by those twin curses, tact and reticence....Kemp just blurts everything out. He reveals himself to an extraordinary degree and yet when we read it it seemed exactly what he should do." -New York World "Mr. Kemp has produced a volume of reminiscences that are thoroughly pleasing. 'Tramping on Life' falls in the honorable category of documents. It is packed with incident, character-sketches and self-analysis. It is a mine of fact and personal history. It surpasses most novels in interest. And although one cannot recommend it as a work of art in letters, one can conscientiously urge all lovers of books to read it. It is a rare example of autobiography. Harry Kemp, who has for a long while been considered by his own preference as 'The Tramp Poet,' tells in this story of John Gregory's life the essential facts of his own. Doubtless there is some embroidering, but one feels that the work is largely fact....The autobiographical narrative is unusual in its frankness and it is to be hoped other writers of memoirs will model on this simple directness....Mr. Kemp tells many things with a very straight face which strike one as uproariously funny. One wonders whether Mr. Kemp knows they are funny....'Tramping on Life' is one of the richest books in substance that has been printed this year, and one of America's most interesting autobiographies." -The Double Dealer "People who can stomach the profanity and the sex stuff of this book will find it decidedly interesting in its discursive and conversational revelations of an unconventional personality." -New Outlook "The next aware for the best American autobiography...should go to Harry Kemp." -New York Globe

A large part of the book's subject matter describes the way of life of the tramp in United Kingdom, Canada and the United States in the final decade of the 19th century. When G. B.
