Men Working on State Road near Benton, PA

Notice the absence of construction equipment as men worked on the state road near Benton, Pennsylvania.  The use of sledgehammers to crush the large stones must have been backbreaking labor.  Horse drawn buggy and wagon are in the background.  The time period was before the common use of cars and trucks.  Circa 1900,
