@jnkrtech you can read the original “Lambda Papers,” particularly AI Memo 349 “ Scheme: An Interpreter for Extended Lambda Calculus“ by Sussman and Steele where (I believe for the first time) continuation passing style was described in Section 3.4 “Continuation Passing Recursion”.

The rest of the “Lambda Papers” are all available on Wikisource.
