Cowboys of the Old West, hoboes on the rails, sailors in the
open seas, and miners burrowing deep underground have had
their legends told and heroes held high. Now it is the
garbageman's turn. Learn of the tales, tribulations, and
culture in one of the lowlier, yet necessary occupations in
American society. For reasons explained in the book, the
Dutch cornered the market in the Chicago area in the
mid-1900s. The author labored in that setting as a young
man; now, years after the aches and calluses have gone, he
brings out the urban settings few people see.
