The legendary 1951 scroll draft of On the Road, published word for word as Kerouac originally composed it

On the Road chronicles Jack Kerouac's years traveling the North American continent with his friend Neal Cassady, ""a sideburned hero of the snowy West."" As ""Sal Paradise"" and ""Dean Moriarty,"" the two roam the country in a quest for self-knowledge and experience. Kerouac's love of America, his compassion for humanity, and his sense of language as jazz combine to make On the Road an inspirational work of lasting importance.
