Bronze Monument To Glory Of Mules
In Muleshoe Texas the Mule Memorial Association aims to erect a life size bronze mule statue at the intersection of U.S. Highways 60 and 84 once $5,000 is raised by July 4. Leader Gil Lamb promotes mule tribute as national pride and notes donations from across the United States. The piece cites mules as critical to American development as census data tracks declining mule numbers from about 750,000 in 1930 to around 3 million total horse and mule stock by 1960.
