Wagons Passing On a Muddy Road
View over fence of two men sitting in their horse-drawn wagon that appears to be stuck in the mud on a rutted dirt road. A buggy has just passed them in the opposite direction. This image was entered in a 1898 competition sponsored by the League of American Wheelman to identify the nation's worst roads conditions. The purpose of the competition was to gather evidence of the need for better roads. |
