First sentence: Road map: After graduating from high school at Indiana, Pennsylvania, in 1945, and facing induction into the wartime military on his eighteenth birthday some eight months hence, "Ned" (as the Abbey clan knew him) embarked on a solo tour of the American Southwest, traveling by foot, bus, thumb, and "hopped" freight train.
