"It's a complicated part because there's not much below the surface in Horatio Nelson Jackson â€â€? he's just an ordinary guy doing something extraordinary," said Burns "I had to bring my father's ashes back from Michigan on a road trip," he said m Those letters reflect Jackson's humor, his affection for his wife Bertha and, most importantly, his unflagging optimism in the face of seemingly insurmountable car troubles and navigational snafus Now, another hundred years later, master filmmaker Ken Burns and writer David Duncan have brought the little-known adventure of Horatio Nelson Jackson to life Despite the fact that there were only 150 miles of paved road in the entire country, he and Crocker â€â€? and a goggle-wearing bulldog named Bud â€â€? arrived in New York on July 26, exactly 63 days, 12 hours and 30 minutes after leaving San Francisco Along the way, they got lost numerous times, endured almost every mechanical failure possible and created a media sensation as papers across the country tracked their progress against two rival teams that set out after them org Burns tells this charming adventure story with his characteristic "visual triangulation " But Jackson's never-before-publish ed letters to Bertha â€â€? whom he inexplicably called Swipes, â€â€? are the real star of the film " The two-hour documentary's humorous tone is a departure from Burns' longer, weightier films, like "The Civil War "Why we aren't taught about the first automobile road trip, I just can't figure out New Documentary Shows First U " Burns learned of the story in 1990 from Duncan, who spent nearly a decade locating photographs, scrapbooks and finally Jackson's granddaughters, who still had his many letters home It has immense symbolic, even mythological significance Four days later, after purchasing a 1903 Winton touring car for $3,000 and hiring a driving companion, mechanic Sewall Crocker, he set off to do what several accomplished motorists before him couldn't pbs On June 21, after a night spent lost in western Wyoming with no food, Jackson described it as the night that "thirty thousand mosquitoes died on the back of my neck," adding that both he and Crocker "were stealing speculative glances at Bud as we tightened our belts " But "Horatio's Drive" hints at a central American issue â€â€? our relationship to the land, and the changes wrought on that relationship by the automobile " The car goes on display at the National Museum of American History on Nov Road Trip Oct 2, 10:36 PM EST On May 23, 1903, one hundred years after Meriwether Lewis got his marching orders from President Thomas Jefferson, another historic American journey began â€â€? the first coast-to-coast automobile trip " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: www " Encountering heavy rains in Buffalo, New York, he telegraphed the Winton company: "If it continues, will ask you to send paddles for the wheels and rudder for the rest of the car "And Tom nailed it "Once we had the letters, I knew that we had a film," said Burns, who had been unsure if there was enough story to make into a documentary Grappling with questions about the physicality of America, along with issues of race, has shaped Burns' career, leading to such films as "Lewis and Clark" and "The West 22 "The worst of it is over" and "just watch me now" were Jackson's constant refrains At the time, he didn't own an automobile Unlike the meticulously planned Lewis and Clark expedition, Jackson took off from San Francisco on a whim after betting $50 at a gentleman's club that he could drive to New York in under 90 days EDT Monday on PBS (check local listings) "This is a country that loves firsts, that loves its cars, and that loves road trips," said Burns from Florentine Films, his Manhattan headquarters S "Experiences happen on road trips that are implanted for life â€â€? they are signal passages for Americans " As Burns documents in his preface to the film's companion book (published by Knopf), the open road holds a powerful emotional force in his own life Jackson's letters are read by actor Tom Hanks â€â€? a unanimous choice by Burns and Duncan, who were searching for someone to match the American everyman with indomitable optimism revealed in the letters " His traditional mix of photographs and interviews are augmented by a recreation of the drive that involved strapping cinematographer Allen Moore to the hood of a moving car in a contraption the production team nicknamed "the bra "Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip" premieres at 9 p " "We are forever a nation becoming," Burns said, "and that's epitomized in a road trip Sunday, Roy Disney stepped down from the board of directors and called on Eisner to resign Gold also repeated Disney's calls for Eisner to resign His departure may have been a pre-emptive move to avoid being forced from the board But Gold's role has been diminished over the past two years as he has become more of a critic of Eisner's performance He said he also is quitting as chairman of the company's animation division "It is my sincere belief that it is you that should be leaving and not me," Disney wrote to Eisner in a scathing letter Disney, 73, is the last family member active in the company, founded in the 1920s by his uncle Walt and his father, Roy O Its governance and nominating committee decided against recommending him for another term because he is over the mandated retirement age of 72, the company said Sunday Gold played a key role along with Roy Disney in 1984 to save the company from a takeover attempt and install Eisner as chairman Last year, the board adopted new corporate governance guidelines that removed Gold's status as an independent investor and cut his influence 's board Monday, seconding complaints made Sunday by Roy Disney and further criticizing the board for being a rubber stamp to senior management Gold's resignation comes as Disney's board begins two days of meeting in New York He heads Shamrock Holdings, which manages Roy Disney's investments "It is clear to me that this board is unwilling to tackle the difficult issues I believe this company continues to face â€â€? management failures and accountability for those failures, operational deficiencies, imprudent capital allocations, the cannibalization of certain company icons for short-term gain, the enormous loss of creative talent over the last years, the absence of succession planning and the lack of strategic focus," Gold wrote 2nd Disney Director, Eisner Critic, Quits Dec 1, 2:37 PM EST Stanley Gold, a key ally of former Disney vice chairman Roy E Gold issued a long rebuke to Eisner and The Walt Disney Co Board membership is on the agenda for the full board's scheduled meetings Monday and Tuesday in New York Disney, resigned from the media and entertainment conglomerate's board Monday, becoming the second vocal opponent of chairman and chief executive Michael Eisner to quit the board in two days Disney, who was the business manager |
