=__﻿Early Life__=

Jack was born Jean-Louis Kerouac in Lowell, Massachusetts on March 12, 1922, the youngest of three children. He was heavily influenced by the author Thomas Wolfe, and this would be the person that he would stylize his writing after. By the time he was around 13, Lowell had begun to sink into poverty, and his father dropped into alcoholic helplessness. Jack had his own plan to save his family, but it fell apart and Jack began hanging out with Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and others that would eventually become known as the Beat Generation.media type="custom" key="7768597" align="left"
