This book is a real good account of a young man’s journey across this great country starting in New York and ending in California. The account takes place in depression era US in 1939. Young Jack Newkirk sets out on a 1930 Harley VL to cross the country. He learns much about the machine as well as himself. He has several adventures and mishaps along the way, which made the man he became.
His son and name sake honors him by telling this story and also digressing a bit to tell the story of a cousin who is also named John Newkirk but is better known as Scarsdale Jack Newkirk, one of the original Flying Tigers of WW2.
It’s a story of a young man’s adventure with some interesting history thrown in.
