For the record - June 4, 2008

Publication Dates: In Gregory Rodriguez’s column Monday about road trips, the publication dates for Walt Whitman’s “Song of the Open Road” and Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road” were incorrect. Whitman’s “Open Road” was first published in an 1856 edition of “Leaves of Grass,” not the posthumous 1900 edition. “On the Road” was published in 1957, not 1951, which was when it was written.
