The Remarkable Journey of the First Road Trip Across America

In 1903, Sewall K. Crocker, the youngest mechanic in California, is hired by Dr. H. Nelson Jackson, the man who made a bet to do the impossible, cross America by automobile in 90 days. Along the way they pick up Bud, a goggle-wearing bulldog, who becomes a star in the newspapers. Every mile is another obstacle to overcome from mountains, rivers, and mud on the road to New York City. With breakdowns now so sever they have to contact the factory for parts, will Sewall be able to keep the motorcar running before one of the other corporate-backed teams pass them? Dr. Jackson is a dreamer, Bud is beloved by all, and Sewall understands machines, but can he find the confidence to ensure they all finish this remarkable road trip? The fictionalized account of a true story that changed the way the world viewed the automobile.
