Dashing through the snow,
In a one horse open sleigh.

I've colorized the photo of my paternal grandfather, Elmer Martin, in his one-horse open sleigh. This picture would have been taken about 1913 at Elmer's home in Rock Island, Illinois. Below the photo is a 1913 newspaper article referring to Elmer and his cutter sleigh. The Sam Love mentioned in the newspaper was Elmer's cousin.

that's a killer picture! i love the sleigh
The sleighs are so cute! The newspaper article is funny, Elmer and Sam must have gotten a lot of dates with those sleighs! I wonder if the lady who Elmer took on the sled was his future wife.
