| Description:
|
Elevated view
of part of the town of Hickson, N.D., showing the depot and a moving
train with smoke pouring from the engine. Across from the depot
are four businesses, including Bergstrom Brothers General Merchandise,
T.T. Kinneberg Fruit and Confectionery, and J.A. Blegen General
Merchandise. There are several horse-drawn buggies parked beside
the wood boardwalk in front of these stores. A sign by the road
in the lower right corner reads "Look out for cars." In the background
to the horizon are fields, some with what appears to be grain shocks. |
