Lost messages: Postcards show importance of horses more than 100 years ago
August 10, 2013
Rummaging around second-hand stores on a recent trip to McClelland's Beach, Spirit Lake, Iowa, I found these great old postcards from 1908 and 1909 that illustrate how important horses were back then. You won't find an automobile in sight. You could mail a card for a penny. One of the messages is in a language other than English. Can you translate it?
