the first carriage-sized automobile suitable for use on existing wagon roads in the united states was a steam-powered vehicle invented in 1871 by dr. j.w. carhart, a minister of the methodist episcopal church, in racine, wisconsin. it induced the state of wisconsin in 1875 to offer a $10,000 award to the first to produce a practical substitute for the use of horses and other animals. they stipulated that the vehicle would have to maintain an average speed of more than over a course. the offer led to the first city to city automobile race in the united states, starting on 16 july 1878 in green bay, wisconsin, and ending in madison, wisconsin, via appleton, oshkosh, waupun, watertown, fort atkinson, and janesville. while seven vehicles were registered, only two started to compete: the entries from green bay and oshkosh. the vehicle from green bay was faster, but broke down before completing the race. the oshkosh finished the course in 33 hours and 27 minutes, and posted an average speed of six miles per hour. in 1879, the legislature awarded half the prize.
