Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip

One of the books I've been reading to inspire me. It's about Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson, who because of a $50 bet, traveled from San Francisco to New York in 1903. He was the first person to complete a cross country trip, ever. In an old 20 horsepower Winton. It covers the trip and all of its trial and tribulations through personal photos, letters to his wife, and eyewitness recall. Good read, and it has a connected PBS documentary with it, that I just received for Christmas but haven't had a chance (yet) to watch. Check it out: http://www.pbs.org/horatio/
