On the Trail


That's Jack Kerouac front, centre, during his research phase, for his abandoned second novel "On The Trail".

After the success of "On The Road", his publisher wanted a follow up where Sal Paradise encounters interesting characters on the Appalachian Trail.

After an encounter with poison ivy, Jack abandoned the novel, returning to the safety of the Beat Poets.

Bonus - For those who wondered about THAT voice on Gimmee Shelter.
