{"product_id":"horatios-drive-americas-first-road-trip-dvd","title":"Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip [DVD]","description":"Amazon.com\n\nSubtitled \"America's First Road Trip,\" Horatio's Drive captures the remarkable odyssey of Horatio Nelson Jackson, a doctor from Vermont who--accompanied by a former professional bicyclist and a bulldog named Bud--helmed the first trip from coast to coast in a car. In 1903, after making a $50 bet he could drive to New York City in 90 days, Nelson set off from San Francisco in a used Winton two-seater than he bought for $3000 and proceeded to cross a country where most roads, if they existed at all, were still made of dirt. Pulling together newspaper articles, period movies, and Jackson's own photographs and passionate love letters to his wife, famed documentarian Ken Burns crafts a love letter of his own to the automobile and the ways it has shaped American life. Horatio's Drive is both educational and completely entertaining. --Bret Fetzer\n\nProduct Description\n\nHoratio's Drive recounts the simultaneously inspirational and hilarious saga of Horatio Nelson Jackson, an eccentric Vermont doctor, who in 1903 - on a visionary whim and a 50-dollar bet - became the first person to drive an automobile across the continent, heralding the future of the \"horseless carriage\" as a vehicle destined for more than inner-city travel and as a machine that would transform American life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0000A02Y3\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0000A02Y3.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tom Hanks|Keith David|Adam Arkin|Tom Bodett|Philip Bosco|Kevin Conway|John Cullum|Amy Madigan|George Plimpton|Murphy Guyer|Roger Allison|Eli Wallach|Ken Burns|Dayton Duncan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
