By the time White House coachman Daniel Webster posed for this photo with Theodore Roosevelt's brougham carriage in 1928, automobiles had long replaced horses for presidential transportation. Webster anticipated that change and learned to drive. He finished out his White House career as an auto chauffeur and stated that, despite his long experience with horses, he preferred the car.
