Title	Loading hogs onto the riverboat
Description	Several men are loading hogs from a chute or gangplank onto a riverboat. A pulley hoists the chute off of the bank. A corral is pictured in the background. A woman and two children, each wearing wide-brimmed hats, watch the scene from the side.
Historical note	It was common to send hogs off to slaughter by water rather than by land. If they were driven over land, they would lose weight and therefore some of their value.
