Fantastic piece! Although it should of course be mentioned that the Beats' association with Neal Cassady dated back to before Cassady's San Francisco years. New York, 1947, when Cassady met Kerouac and Ginsberg, then subsequent road trips involving all three at various points -- to and from Denver, to and from Texas, then on to San Francisco -- predated their west coast association in the '50s.

The first beat novel is credited to John Clellon Holmes, titled GO. It came out in 1952.
