Oliver Evans, where it began -- Steaming from turnpike to rail -- Frustration, limitation, show business -- Internal combustion arrives -- Taking a back seat to Little Egypt -- Pedaling toward the automobile -- Sorting out and moving on -- The electrifying Pope and Whitney -- Growing pains -- The horseless carriage becomes an automobile -- Reaching for the limelight -- Great minds, good maneuvers -- Eastward, ho! -- Licensing the industry -- Hopping on the bandwagon -- Cads and bad autos -- High gear and turbulence -- Sticks and stones: autophobia and the law -- Of ills and remedies -- Highwheelers and panic -- There's millions in it -- The whirlwind man -- The race for empire -- Selden undone, horray -- From lawn to dust -- Cheap, reliable, saleable -- Henry and Lizzie -- Games of mix, match, and hatch -- Whoa: beyond motor mecca -- Electgrified, gentrified, and politicized -- Roads and recession, other battles loom -- Gearing up for war, other battles won -- Hardships of war -- Boom goes bust -- Forever a roller coaster.
