On this episode of Our American Stories, for thousands of years, human mobility depended on our own legs and the animals we could harness. By the early 20th century, millions of working horses powered American cities, hauling goods, carrying people, and creating problems of congestion, sanitation, and safety that the new automobile promised to solve.

Miles C. Collier, founder of the Revs Institute, explains how the horse, bicycle, and automobile transformed everyday life.
