Description
Starting with the turn-of-the-century visionaries who saw that four wheels and a motor could replace for the horse, this book moves swiftly through key early developments to cover the power farming movement of the latter part of the 20th Century--a time when major manufacturers lagged behind and independent builders and farmers began creating their own solutions with a pencil drawing and a welder. This raucous, heartfelt book shines a light on some of the bright minds and innovative companies which emerged from the fertile fields of America's heartland.

Person
Lee Klancher's adventures in journalism have sent he and his camera out to climb Mount Triglav in the Julian Alps, explore breweries on four continents, and ride backcountry motorcycle routes in the Bolivian Amazon, the Australian Outback, and on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. He has appeared in Men's Journal, Draft, Motorcyclist, and dozens of books and calendars. His favorite subjects are independent craftspeople who earn their livings working with their hands and doing what they love.
