For six months out of the year he would travel to the circuit courts in the district: <blockquote>Itinerant court members traveled on horseback or by horse and buggy. While in a county seat, they stayed at local taverns, ate at common tables, and shared beds. When travel was particularly hazardous or lengthy, the group stayed at rural farmhouses along the way. </blockquote> My grandmother's lawyer was a "country lawyer". He was also one of her pallbearers. He was quite helpful in a few situations where big city shysters tried to prey on honest farmers. They don't make lawyers like that anymore.
