What is the major flaw in my math?
I don't know how accurate the "mile long" statement is, but it is a reported observation. What I *didn't* read or hear is that the entire route from Brownwood to LSL was lined with carts while there were still more carts waiting to leave LSL.
There were a lot of carts. There were probably more carts than the earlier parade. There probably 1,000 carts. But 4,000 seems like a bad guess or an exaggeration.
