Overview

In 1831, Cyrus Hall McCormick invented the world's first practical mechanical reaper which would reduce the need for farm labor used in agricultural harvesting. This reprint of the 1909 edition describes McCormick's life from his boyhood on the farm through his success as an industrialist. The text is accompanied by b&w photographs of reapers in use in all parts of the globe. The volume does not contain bibliographical references. Annotation c.
