In 1903, Horatio Nelson Jackson took a $50 bet and became the first person to drive across America—in a 20-horsepower car, with a bulldog named Bud riding shotgun. No roads. No GPS. Just guts, gears, and a whole lot of mud. Ken Burns’ Horatio’s Drive captures the hilarious, history-making trip that helped prove the car was here to stay. https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/horatios-drive/ #automotivehistory
