  The houses remind me of the ones described in Zora Neale Hurston's book "Their Eyes Were Watching God"

  Houses like this were common in Southeast Texas and Lousianna into the 1980's.

  Can you really say "negro"?

• Ceridwen said:

  Very nice collection I wonder when these were colored?

• Retired at last said:

  abej2004, these are original colour slides. Not coloured black and white. This one is an Eastman transparency.

• billy_pilgrim said:

  No genetically altered vegetables there! Fresh from the earth.

  Well it was the tail-end of the depression, its not surprising the horse was bony. I'm sure the family needed food just as much as the horse.
