The Rabbit Hunters

Can you picture yourself providing for your family the way these gents did back in early 1900 when this photo was taken. Along with hard scrabble farming and harvesting wood for the home fires some of the men here worked on building a railbed for the electric rail car that brought people and freight to and from Providence, Rhode Island. This feat was accomplished by about 100 men and very little machinery.
