Little Known American First September 28, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
What a gem this DVD is!!! While surfing channels in a motel room, I ran across this presentation and started viewing it. I ordered the DVD as soon as I returned home. The story of the first coast to coast automobile road trip in 1903 is just wonderful. The adventure and challenge of this undertaking is nothing short of remarkable. Included are Horatio's letters to home recounting his journey, newspaper accounts of trip, and actual pictures he took on the road. This is a little known story of a remarkable man, his companion, and his dog on an adventure that I found to be a wonderful part of American history.
perfect real adventure story for car nuts and buffs September 8, 2007

saw this years ago, great story telling with letters and pictures of old. the almost never ending road trip that started on a bet, in a time where thier were no roads ,no gas stations ,parts,restauraunts,motels ,ect. .sometimes you feel the thrill of victory but most are about the many different levels of agonizing defeat and longing for his old lady . the old ying and yang . five stars plus on this deal luv it

Another great Ken Burn's effort about a little known feat: driving an automobile across the continental United States, the first time! Well done as Burn's efforts always are. Great story for both vintage car folks and those of us interested in little known bits of history of our country.
See if you can recognize some of the excellent voices in the film.
As always, an unabashed fan of Ken Burn's video work.
