In 1910, brothers Bud and Temple
Abernathy rode on horseback from Frederick, OK to New York
City to meet former
president Teddy Roosevelt. For the
ride home they changed their mode of
transportation to a
1910 Brush Runabout, making the 2500 mile trip in a record
setting 23 days. Quite a feat a time where there were no
interstates and
desperados still roamed the wild west.
Even more impressive is the fact that Bud
and Temple were
only six and ten years old.
