Stuck in the Mud
Two men attempt to move a buggy mired in the mud on a rutted, dirt road. One man is steadying the horse and his hat is laying in the middle of the road. The other man is trying to move a back wheel. This is one of a series of photographs collected by the League of American Wheelmen in 1898 from throughout the Midwest in order to publicize the need for better roads.
