One hundred years ago, on a fifty-dollar bet, Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson set out to be the first person ever to cross the United States by car. There were no gas stations or road maps, in fact there were hardly even roads. Yet the 31 year old Doctor from Burlington, Vermont made it. His remarkable story has been captured in a new documentary entitled "Horatio's Drive". Laura's guests are documentary filmmakers Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan.
