THE BLUES / HORATIO'S DRIVE: AMERICA'S FIRST ROAD TRIP FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
THE BLUES (ONE EPISODE)
Martin Scorsese presents — a landmark documentary series that traces the origins, evolution, and enduring power of the blues. Conceived and curated by Scorsese, the collection blends archival performances, candid interviews, and contemporary footage to show how this music grew out of specific communities and then radiated worldwide, seeding jazz, rock, soul, and modern popular music. The film treat the blues not just as a musical style but as a vital cultural language that carries stories of work, migration, love, and resistance.
HORATIO'S DRIVE: AMERICA'S FIRST ROAD TRIP
American Masters presents Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip. This documentary recounts the daring 1903 cross-country automobile journey undertaken by Horatio Nelson Jackson and his mechanic Sewall Crocker, a landmark episode in early motoring history that helped launch the American love affair with the open road. Combining archival photographs, period newsreels, personal letters and contemporary interviews, the film brings to life the rattling car, the loyal dog Bud who accompanied the travelers, and the improvisational spirit that turned a technical experiment into a national adventure.
Crafted in the narrative, historical-biographical tradition of the acclaimed American Masters series, Horatio's Drive has been recognized across multiple nonfiction categories for its strong filmmaking—direction, writing, editing and cinematography—alongside standout voice-over work. The program showcases exemplary production values: evocative cinematography that evokes early twentieth-century landscapes, meticulous editing that balances pace with historical detail, and a warm, engaging narration (featuring Tom Hanks as the voice of Horatio Nelson Jackson) that humanizes the participants and their trials.
Beyond recounting a singular trek, the film situates the first cross-country drive within a larger cultural narrative about American innovation, mobility and identity. It revitalizes interest in early automotive technology and the mythology of the road trip, while underscoring how a handful of intrepid individuals helped reshape transportation and national imagination. Educative yet entertaining, the documentary stands as both a celebration of a pioneering moment and a thoughtful reflection on how stories of risk and curiosity become woven into American myth.
Through playwright Arthur Miller and director Elia Kazan, the film explores the blacklist: its origins, the key agents of the Red Scare, and the damage done not only to those subpoenaed, but to America's political system as well.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
