The 1903 Road Trip That Made American History

In 1903, America had only 150 miles of paved roads, no gas stations, and no highway maps. Crossing the continent by car was deemed impossible until Dr Horatio Nelson Jackson accepted a casual $50 bet to prove the sceptics wrong. Alongside mechanic Sewall K. Crocker and a goggle-wearing pit bull named Bud, Jackson embarked on a gruelling, breakdown-riddled, 63-day journey that changed transportation history forever.
