     First Shot Photo & Carriage is here to help you relive the horse and buggy days of Texas. I have one of the largest collections of horse drawn vehicles in Texas. Thirty buggies and wagons,  some have the original brass manufacture tags and others just like I found them. Let me help you with your buggy and wagon  wheel problems. I can repair almost any wooden wheel, broken spoke, felloes, rubber tires or a complete wheel with custom turned hub. If its a buggy part you need I might have one, axles, springs, body irons, wheel parts, if it goes on a buggy there ought to be one here somewhere. wpe131.tmp.jpg (316366 bytes)

 

 

       George W. Davis, my great- great- great-grandfather was an original settler here in Gonzales and he left us his memoirs and a collection of letters and receipts for supplies to the troops here at Gonzales during Texas Revolution. George Davis was one of the Old Eighteen and two of his family members, a step-son and son-in-law rode with the Immortal Thirty- Two and died at the Alamo. He survived the Birth of Texas and his original papers and letters are part of the legacy at First Shot Photo & Carriage.

You are not interlopers or intruders on the rich inheritance of liberty; your share of these rights, were bought and nobly paid for by the blood and toils and suffering of more than one ancestor. Your Ancestors in the first place have been long on the soil contributing to them, subduing the wilderness and the early settlement of the country bearing all the toils and hardship natural to such enterprises. And when the great war for liberty was commenced sacrificing every comfort and convenience and cheerfully taking up arms for the great cause, never ceased nor quit until the great work was accomplished and this country saved.

George W. Davis
