"The Beat Generation got its start in San Francisco because one person landed here, and it wasn't Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady or Allen Ginsberg.
Carolyn Robinson, a high-born Bennington girl with Southern charms, arrived in 1947 and Cassady tracked her down shortly thereafter to resume a romance that had begun in Denver...
She was a fine Southern lady and her own person and a good mother," says Hinkle of San Jose, who traveled cross-country with Neal Cassady on the first leg of the back-and-forth frenzy that would later become "On the Road." "I always admired her for all this trash she had to go through with Neal and his lady friends and Allen Ginsberg. ...
Carolyn wrote a memoir, "Off the Road," and is credited with snapping what might be the most famous photograph of the Beat Generation - the picture of her husband in a work shirt and his mate Kerouac in a sweatshirt, their faces seductively shadowed, and looking like they are ready to jump into a car and go, man, go."
