Ox carts and oxen anchor this view of a parade or procession in Hallettsville, a small town in Lavaca County, Texas. No date is recorded, and the title "Houston hustlers" does not clearly explain the scene, so the exact occasion remains unknown. Ox-drawn carts were a common sight across Texas through the nineteenth century, hauling freight and supplies before railroads reached many rural towns, and community parades often featured them. Treat the specific details as unverified until a dated source turns up.
