Prisoner Hauling Goods | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
Elevated view of an African American prisoner hauling goods with a  horse-drawn wagon. Original caption reads: "Baled alfalfa, bacon, flour and grain which have all been shipped in from the north being hauled to the farm by a 'trusty convict' at Meridian, Miss.
