The institutions were different: slavery was well established; and there was no public school system, no banks, and the transportation systems could inflict an arduous ordeal on travelers. If we regard the area as rural today, it was more so then and the countryside posed special challenges. In 1852 the Marshall Texas Republican related that Geiger and Company needed to add to their inventory: "Skins wanted. 1,000 panther skins, 500 bear skins; for which the highest market price will be paid at Shreveport.'" While there were few such mentions of wildlife, a general reading of advertisements provides a plain, straight-forward medium to view the culture, attitudes, and peculiarities of that time and place.
