Jack Kerouac's father was a hobo after the Great Depression who travelled via stowing away on railway carts, a lot of people's fathers were around that time. Part of that plus the Second World War led to much of the Beatnik identity and outlook.

I was trying to remember if it was mentioned in the "On the road" - couldn't remember. I recall, there were some encounters with train hikers, maybe even involving some father-figure, but I don't remember the novel that good already.

I'm not sure where exactly it is mentioned, it may have been elsewhere by Ginsberg or others but I think that idea of being left alone at a young age was a fairly fresh 'common' experience at the time.

Been years since I read any of that stuff, I just like how it sets the scene for an alternative subculture of the time.
