In mid-September, military historian and author Bruce Gamble will be taking his restored and modernized ’67 Mustang convertible on a 6,000-mile trip across America and back to commemorate the 65th anniversary of a hitchhiking and bus trek made by Jack Kerouac, which formed the basis of his classic novel On the Road.
Gamble, a paralyzed Navy veteran, will trace Kerouac’s entire route from New York City to San Francisco, then down to Los Angeles and eventually back to New York via the Southwest.
Gamble will also be promoting his newly-released book Swashbucklers and Black Sheep: A Pictorial History of Marine Fighting Squadron 214 in World War II.
