Kerouac novel to begin travels

Associated Press Says The original manuscript of Jack Kerouac’s groundbreaking On the Road, acquired last year by Indiana Colts’ owner Jim Irsay for nearly $2.5 million, has hit the road.

It’s oddly configured manuscript — Kerouac typed on onionskin paper, then taped the pages together, so that by the time he’d finished the thing was 119 feet 8 inches long.
