User Review: “I find this book both easy to read, and well written. The pictures are some of the very best I have ever seen on Steam Engines. The fact that it is written alphabetically by companies is especially good. I had seen many of the engines at antique tractor shows over the years, but knew little about the engines or the companies that produced them. I find this book to be a must have book for any collector of 19th century machinery or information on it! I recommend it to the members of the Society, and to anyone else who shares my love of 19th century antique machinery.” - Kenneth A. Reis, Campbell County Historical SocietyProduct Description:

his book tells the story of the amazing transformation of farming brought about by the gigantic steam tractors that hauled agriculture into the modern era. Here is the first-ever thorough history of the steamers packed with more than 400 super-rare photographs and brochures that have taken years to collect. Before the advent of lightweight gasoline engines, steam tractors were met with awe. Even today, at threshing bees, county fairs, and tractor shows, these remarkable machines command great respect. This book gives readers and tractor fans a chance to linger over every detail of these marvelous--and now, all too rare--machines. Richly illustrated and meticulously detailed, each entry brings to the fore a steam tractor that in its day transformed the business of farming acre by acre and day by day.
