GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS OF FARM STEAM ENGINES offers a sampling of the powerful images from John F. Spalding's unparalleled archive of historical photographs. The book invites readers to step back into the age of steam power on farms in the United States and Canada: an era that reached a pinnacle in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Viewers of these pictures are likely to be surprised by the quality and significance of these photographs of the great North American agricultural steam engine. Those readers that seek histories of the companies that built the engines and many additional images will also want to purchase THE STEAM TRACTOR ENCYCLOPEDIA, NEW EXPANDED EDITION, also by Spalding and Rhode.
