Another view of the Goliad County Courthouse with the hanging Tree.

The interesting piece of information about this image is the large tree on the left. It is called the Hanging Tree, so called because in the early days of the wild west, capital trials were held nearby, ither in the courthouse or on the lawn. Those found guilty were strung up and hung from the Hanging Tree.
