Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip
Get set for an adventure that marked a new era in America! Award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns presents the hilarious 1903 saga of the first transcontinental automobile trip. On a visionary whim and a $50 bet, Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson became the first person to drive an automobile across the continent. His arrival in New York City--after every imaginable breakdown and delay including being towed by a cowboy and his horse--proved that the "horseless carriage" really did have a future.

Horatio's Drive: Companion Book
by Dayton Duncan and Ken Burns
Here — in Horatio Nelson Jackson’s own words and photographs — is a glorious account of his months-long, problem-beset, thrilling-to-the-rattled-bones trip with his mechanic, Sewall Crocker, and a bulldog named Bud. Jackson’s previously unpublished letters to his wife, brimming with optimism against all odds, describe in vivid detail every detour, every flat tire, every adventure good and bad. And his nearly one hundred photographs show a country still settled mainly in small towns, where life moved no faster than the horse-drawn carriage and where the arrival of Jackson’s open-air (roofless and windowless) Winton would cause delirious excitement. Hardcover, 192 pages, with 146 illustrations and 1 map.
