Jim Phelan (Irish writer)
James Leo Phelan (1895–1966) was an Irish tramp who wrote several books on tramp life and prison life.
==Childhood==
Phelan was born in Ireland in 1895 and spent his early years in the village of Inchicore in Dublin. He developed a strong wanderlust at a young age, which he attributed to living near a busy port city, and growing up with a father who had travelled extensively and a mother who constantly recited fairy stories. From an early age Phelan escaped from home repeatedly, attempting to stow away beneath a tarpaulin, only to be discovered, disembarked at the nearest convenient point and returned to his despairing parents by equally despairing policemen.
At eighteen, under the fear of a "shotgun wedding", Phelan left Cork for Galveston, Texas aboard a Texan oil tanker. He later wrote, in his autobiography ''Tramp at Anchor'', that his propensity to walk away at the slightest provocation and from any commitment led him to conclude that instability is what makes a man a tramp and, in doing so, he laid down the philosophy that was to shape the remainder of his life.
