Al Hinkle (April 9, 1926 – December 26, 2018) was a childhood friend of Beat Generation icon Neal Cassady who was the inspiration for the character of Ed Dunkel in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. In December 1948 Hinkle contributed $100 to the down payment on the 1949 Hudson automobile that Cassady drove across the United States, the journey memorialized in Kerouac’s novel. He was also the real life inspiration for characters in two other Kerouac books: Slim Buckle in Visions of Cody and Ed Buckle in Book of Dreams.

| - Al Hinkle, celým jménem Albert Clyde Hinkle, (9. dubna 1926 Florida – 26. prosince 2018 San José) byl Američan úzce spjatý s Beat generation. Vyrůstal v Denveru a od dvanácti let se znal s Nealem Cassadym. Během války působil v obchodním námořnictvu. Pod jménem Ed Dunkel vystupuje v knize Na cestě od Jacka Kerouaca (jeho manželka Helen zde vystupuje coby Galatea). V knize Vize Codyho má jméno Slim Buckle a v Knize snů Ed Buckle. Jeho první manželka Helen zemřela v roce 1994. V roce 1997 se oženil s Maxine Williams, se kterou byl dalších deset let. V roce 2012 vydal vzpomínkovou knihu ve formě rozhovorů s Stephenem Edingtonem pod názvem Last Man Standing, jejíž titul odkazuje k faktu, že Hinkle byl posledním žijícím mužem z užšího kruhu Beat generation, kteří vystupovali v knize Na cestě.

In December 1948 Hinkle contributed $100 to the down payment on the 1949 Hudson automobile that Cassady drove across the United States, the journey memorialized in Kerouac’s novel. He was also the real life inspiration for characters in two other Kerouac books: Slim Buckle in Visions of Cody and Ed Buckle in Book of Dreams. Hinkle is credited with convincing Cassady to move from Denver to the San Francisco Bay Area to work on the Southern Pacific railroad. Kerouac followed, and briefly worked as a brakeman. Poet Allen Ginsberg, another Hinkle friend, also came out from New York. The independent thinkers formed the nucleus of what became known as the Beat Generation, a precursor of the San Francisco-centered counterculture movement in the 1960s. Hinkle never sought fame or fortune from his association with famous friends and lived in relative obscurity until the weekly Metro Silicon Valley placed him and his wife Helen on its cover in 1992. In 2012, Hinkle published a small book of recollections based on an interview with Stephen D. Edington entitled “Last Man Standing.” "I love having lived my life with liberty and freedom. I guess Jack was right; here I am today, 85 years old, the 'last man standing' as they call me, only with my own Facebook page instead of a bench outside the Silver Dollar, telling my tales to a whole new generation of 'youngsters' from all around the world who understand and respect what the Beats stood for. I am honored to be a part of it all," Hinkle said. (en)
