It might be difficult for children to imagine a time when cars didn’t rule the road, and roads themselves didn’t rule the landscape, but this true account will take them back to an era when that scenario seemed unlikely. In 1903, Horatio Jackson wagered that he could drive a “horseless buggy” across the country, and puttered out from San Francisco to New York with a mechanic buddy. En route, they pick up the quintessential driving partner, a dog named Bud, who becomes a focal point for all the people marveling at the sensational driving machine blowing through town at upward of 30 miles per hour. Setting up the blueprint for countless cross-country road trips to come, they encounter all manner of breakdowns, tough luck, and rousing adventure along the way. Hargis’ glib cartoon illustrations of the begoggled trio and their clanging, mud-spattered auto are a terrific match to the lighthearted narrative. An afterword provides a deeper appreciation for just how remarkable and historical their adventure really was. Easily accesible history here.
