Description
This book pays homage to farm life, farm families, and to the classic farm tractor. Part family farm nostalgia, part reminiscences about faithful old tractors, it's chock-full of endearing pieces written by all the well-known tractor book authors and historians, including Randy Leffingwell, Ralph W Sanders, Robert Pripps, C H Wendel, Bill Vossler, Don Macmillan, and CBS Sunday Morning's Roger Welsch. The text is enhanced by a variety of artwork, including farming paintings by Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton, cartoons by Bob Artley, historical photos, and full-colour photos by Ralph W Sanders, Randy Leffingwell, Andrew Morland, and others. Colourful old advertisements, tractor catalogues and magazine covers, and tractor toys are sure to bring back warm memories of cherished days spent on the family farm. Tractor buffs, anyone interested in farming or collectibles, and anyone who grew up on a farm will cherish this collection of stories and artwork devoted to the classic farm tractor.
