The French Broad River runs north through the mountains of western North Carolina, and it is often described as one of the oldest rivers in the world, having cut its course long before the surrounding peaks rose. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, teams of horses, mules, or oxen were a common sight along such waterways, hauling wagons, logs, and goods on roads and riverbanks where rail lines had not yet reached. Pictures of teams at work like this one record a way of moving freight and farm products that depended on animal power and the river's routes through steep, rugged country.
