Men on Gang Plow in Horicon Marsh
| Five men in hats and jackets, some holding the levers on a gang plow pulled by a Rumley tractor, pose for a group portrait. One man in work clothes stands on the tractor and another in a coat and hat with a cigar in his mouth sits on the plow in the foreground. The plow was likely part of the effort to drain Horicon Marsh for development. |
