Crazy, I had no idea pigs, sheep and horses carried cash in those days. They used to be so much more strong and independent compared to today's woke snowflake Starbucks drinking horses.

25 cents was a hefty toll back then!

Does a human riding a carriage pulled by a horse cost 25 cents or 42?

If you could manage to fit all your pigs, sheep, humans, and horses in your carriage you could really stick it to the man.

Built by the sames folks who brought you The Brooklyn Bridge.

TIL The first bridge to span the Mississippi River was built in 1855 near Minneapolis. The Father Louis Hennepin Suspension Bridge charged a toll. Price for pigs and sheep was 2 cents, humans paid 3 cents, horses cost 15 cents and carriages cost 25 cents.
