Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip

I was especially interested in this film when I heard Burns was doing it, first from the standpoint of a Vermonter, second from the standpoint of having heard from my grandfather how his father had taken him out to watch as Nelson passed through Poughkeepsie on the last leg of the trip, following what is now Route 9 from Albany to New York. An excellent film, providing an outstanding depiction of what things were like before the automobile became the center of our lives.
