Horatio Nelson Jackson’s 1903 drive ran from San Francisco to New York, and took 63 days – there were only 150 miles of paved road in the United States at that time! His car is now preserved in the Smithsonian. “We are causing a great sensation along the road – it is the first machine that has ever gone over these mountains."
