About this title

From Library Journal:

Between 1920 and 1950 farmers replaced horses with tractors to power their enterprise. In a single generation, new machines transformed U.S. agriculture, and in one way or another, all of American society felt the impact. So, at least, argues this book's author, a farmer with a Ph.D. in history. Technological change is the central theme: Williams devotes two-thirds of his lively and well-informed text to an account of tractor development. He then links this history of technology to other aspects of 20th-century U.S. economic and social history. Highly readable and solidly researched, this book belongs in a wide range of libraries.
