A postcard from 1909 captures more than it seems. Written during a streetcar strike in Evansville, it mentions the heat and the need to walk.

But the return address traces back to the Reitz home, connecting that short note to a larger presence in the city. Together, they form a snapshot of movement, place, and circumstance, all existing at the same time.

Possible correction: In this episode I say the Reitz Saw Mill opened in 1856 however, other sites I came across claim other dates. Even Wikipedia says 1856 with a drawing or sketch? of the mill with a date showing 1845. Not sure which is correct.
