Tascosa Courthouse Election Day 1911

On election day in 1911 a photographer caught local residents waiting to enter the Tascosa Courthouse. The Tascosa Courthouse served 12 counties in the Texas Panhandle. It was the site of trials for killings that had filled Boothill Cemetery until 1915 when Tascosa had a courthouse and almost no residents; the county seat was moved to Vega, Texas that year.
