berr13 Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 There's a great book called "Horatio's Drive", about the first cross-country automobile trip in 1903. Two guys and a bulldog named Bud drove from San Francisco to New York on a bet. At the time there were only 150 miles of paved road in the country. And we think we have it tough...book's by Dayton Duncan and Ken Burns (and yes, it was also a PBS special).
