Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip

This film by ken burns follows horatio nelson jackson’s adventurous and often hilarious drive from san francisco to new york city a century ago. Jackson, a 31-year-old retired doctor from vermont, accepted a wager: if he made the trip, something no one had done before, in less than three months, he would win 50 dollars. Four days later, jackson and a 22 year-old bicycle repairman, sewall k. Crocker, set off from san francisco in a 1903 winton touring car. Along the way they picked up a third member, a bulldog named bud. Tom hanks provides the voice of jackson.
