The Harvest Story depicts the life of rural American threshermen. This collection of first-person narratives chronicles the eyewitness accounts of people who threshed grain with steam engines. The book selects anecdotes from over 50 volumes of material published in The Iron-Men Album Magazine from 1946 until 2001 and arranges them in a coherent recitation. The result is a story of hard, honest work, of heartfelt cooperation and of triumph not unmarred by tragedy. Readers hear the recollections of those who pitched the bundles of grain onto the horse-drawn wagons, unloaded these bundles into the threshing machine, and saw the stream of clean wheat cascade from the grain auger. Readers encounter the wit and humor that characterized yesteryear's harvests. They learn about the vast industries that supported the agricultural enterprise, and they discover the dangers posed by mechanical equipment. The Harvest Story concludes by examining the birth and development of a movement to rescue the agrarian past from oblivion. This book captures authentic voices from the era of steam-powered threshing and offers readable interpretation and explanation, including detailed appendices.

Although there has always been much interest in “classic” or vintage cars, vans, lorries, motorbikes, and bicycles, the awareness of old tractors took longer to evolve. However, when it did in the latter part of the 20th century, the interest was phenomenal and worldwide. How many have come to love these old tractors varies from those who flock to events including meets, reunions, and rallies, to those who remember a balmy summer as children camping in a farmer’s field and being allowed to sit on aging relics pretending to drive across the farmland wrapped up in a world of fantasy. What these people all have in common, is that they appreciate the character of these special old tractors and recognize the importance and nostalgia of the hulking ironmongery of a bygone era. This book looks at some of the key manufacturers around the world and is illustrated with superb archive photographs.
