Description | About 1847 to 1850 the principal amusements were circuses which would travel through the country in wagons, exhibiting elephants, lions, tigers, rhinoceros, and other animals such as we see at the present time. There were no opera houses in Tyler in those days. Dances would be held, the cotillion, or square dance, being in vogue. Sometimes waltzing would be engaged in and card parties be given, euchre being the favorite game, as well as checkers. Games of marbles and town ball and horse racing were also some of the principal sports of the day. |
