This is a curious scene. It's postmarked in Augusta, on January 9, 1908. On the back, it says: "Those two lodes of tobacco you see in the card are the ones that came near causing a riot. Some of the farmers tried to turn the wagon over in the river. Yours, Louise" It's almost certainly a battle in the tobacco wars of that era. Read more about them here. |
