do you agree with the statement "the wanders of today may wear their hair long and speak different jargon, but their trip is one tht men (and women) have taken for as long as this country has been pushing at its frontiers"?

Sure, this sounds good. Again, I would say many itinerant workers today might be "illegal aliens" or seasonal "guests". In the end , the social dynamic would be similar. The isolation and yearning for permanence still apply. The desire to belong and to feel validated is just as important now as it has ever been.

Yes
