Summary:

"It's May of 1903 and Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson is gearing up for the journey of a lifetime: the first road trip across the USA! After a heated debate about the power of "horseless carriages," aka cars, Dr. Jackson accepts a $50 bet that he can make the trip from San Francisco to New York in less than three months. Sure, he doesn't quite know how to drive and no one else has been able to make the trip before him, but Dr. Jackson knows this time will be different. All he needs is his trusty car Vermont, his handy mechanic Sewall Crocker, and their team mascot Bud the bulldog, of course. And he's off to make history! Will rainstorms, flat tires, and more put Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson in over his head, or can he and his two companions make it across the finish line in time?"-- Provided by publisher.
