Teams of work horses stand harnessed in a field near Junction City, Kansas, a detail that places the scene in the agricultural country of the Kansas River valley. Draft animals like these were the engine of American farming well into the early twentieth century, pulling plows, mowers, and wagons before tractors became common across the Plains. Junction City, set where the Republican and Smoky Hill rivers meet to form the Kansas River, grew up as a farm trading center, so horses of this kind would have been central to daily work there. Look closely at the harness and the animals' stance for a sense of how much labor and partnership between farmer and horse went into each season.
