Farming

Here is the complete illustrated history of the farm tractor, from the steamers of the 1850s to the current monstrous machines. Whether you're someone who has farmed or someone simply with a love of the land, this book will give you a new perspective on the enormous influence of the tractor upon the American farm and culture. Detailed descriptions of tractors especially significant to each period, essays on events defining the times, personal stories, memorabilia, and old black-and-white photos of farm scenes make this a complete look at one of America's greatest innovations.
