HORSE AND BUGGY DAYS GIVING WAY TO MOTOR CARS

(Ed.'s Note: One of our favorite contributors sent us this classic shot of downtown Brownsville (Elizabeth Street) during the wagon days. Notice the Fort Brown soldiers moving toward the fort at the far end. Does anyone know the year that Robert Runyon took this photo?)

Looks like 1916 when additional troops were sent to the border by Wilson.

If you are interested in the background for today's crooks in government, read the following book. It is a template that has not changed in over a 100 years in South Texas.
