An excellent history of grain harvesting,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Grain Harvesters (Paperback)
A common failure of the modern world is to forget the blood, sweat, and tears that developed today's society. "The Grain Harvesters" by authors Graeme Quick and Wesley Buchele provides an excellent look at the evolution of modern grain harvesting, and the ingenuity of many men of diverse backgrounds that facilitated the technological change.A well written, and captivating narrative, this book rates among the best. The book is well organized, includes numerous illustrations, and is a literal storehouse of historical harvesting information.
