How would you like to have lived in the era before automobiles? From the book … Made in America … author … bill Bryson
The automobile may have its drawbacks, but at least it doesn’t normally attract flies or drop things you need to step around. The filth of horses was a constant problem for cities well into this century, one that we can barely imagine now. In 1900, some dedicated official in Rochester, New York, calculated that the manure produced by the city’s horses would in a year cover a one-acre square to a depth of 175 feet. Kept in often unsanitary conditions and worked hard through all weathers, horses not only drew flies but dropped like them. At the turn of the century, fifteen thousand horses a year died on the streets of New York, twelve thousand on the streets of Chicago. Sometimes their carcasses were left for days. Between the flies and the manure, and the steaming corpses, there was no mistaking that you were in a city.
