Moments in History II

Alice Huyler Ramsey (November 11, 1886 - September 10, 1983), the first woman to drive across the United States from coast to coast, 1909. Only 152 miles out of the total 3600-mile trip were made on paved road.  Very Top:  Motorcycle chariots c. 1920's

North American native Chilocco Indian Agricultural School basketball team in 1909. (Originally, the swastika was a sign of good fortune.)

A horse-drawn fire engine of Engine No. 39 leaving Fire Headquarters at 157 East 67th Street for the last time after being replaced with a motorized fire engine, New York City, February 19, 1912. 

Lawn mowers of the White House grounds, 1918.  We've gone full circle on this one, folks.  The sheep were eventually replaced by gas powered lawn mowers.  Now the sheep will come back as they are a "green" alternative and environmentally friends.  Just where to put the feces?????  I have some very specific ideas.
