The Great 1908 New York to Paris Auto Race Part 2
Manage episode 349686455 series 2537019
Eleven days into the legendary 1908 New York to Paris auto race, the fastest of the five remaining cars had covered less than 1,000 miles. In this episode our drivers finish shoveling their way across the eastern US, meet the mud of Iowa, the mountain passes of the American Rockies, and the hottest place in the US--Death Valley--where death claims its first victim in the race.
After the frontier of Alaska proves too much for the seemingly uncatchable Thomas Flyer, the race route changes. Now, the last of our plucky protagonists are shipping out to Russia, but not before making a historic landing in Japan.
Join me for Part 2 as we continue our epic journey across 22,000 miles of adventure.
