Edson Cemetery, Lot 76, Range 96, Grave 1.

This is where the road ended for a gifted and troubled writer. That this location has been so close to me yet un-visited has been corrected by my Italian Dutch friend that has read this American author that I haven't. This further supports my theory that visitors know more and better about the US than us locals. Thanks Fulvio, this one is for you that we all can learn new stuff.

From Wikipedia:

Jack Kerouac (pronounced /ˈkɛɹuζk, ˈkɛɹəwζk/; March 12, 1922 – October 21, 1969) was an American novelist, writer, poet, and artist from Lowell, Massachusetts. Along with William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, he is among the best known of the writers (and friends) known as the Beat Generation.

Kerouac's work was very popular, but received little critical acclaim during his lifetime. Today, he is considered an important and influential writer who inspired others, including Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Robbins, Lester Bangs, Richard Brautigan, Ken Kesey, Haruki Murakami, and writers of the New Journalism. Kerouac also influenced musicians such as the Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Tom Waits, Simon & Garfunkel, Jawbreaker, Death Cab For Cutie, The Barenaked Ladies, and Ulf Lundell.[1] Kerouac's best-known books are On the Road, The Dharma Bums, Big Sur, The Subterraneans, and Visions of Cody.
