On this day in 1957, Jack Kerouac published his masterpiece, 'On the Road'. Perhaps the most famous and influential of the Beat novels, it represents much of what made the Beat and Counterculture movements so unique and important.

Kerouac often claimed that he wrote 'On the Road' on a single 120-foot scroll of paper in a mere three weeks. The book was first published by Viking in 1957.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first printing, Viking Press published an edited version of the book in 2007. They substituted the fictional names for the real Beat protagonists and even included some of the more sexually explicit passages that were edited out of the 1957 edition.
