Although ancient farmers used draft animals for plowing, the heavy
work of harvesting fell to human hands, using sickle and scythe.
Change came in the mid-19th century when Cyrus Hall McCormick built
the mechanical harvester. Though the McCormicks used their wealth
to establish art collections and universities, battle disease, and
develop birth control, members of the family faced constant
scrutiny and scandal. This book recounts their story as well as the
history of the International Harvester Company (IHC-a merger of the
McCormick and Deering companies and the world's leader in
agricultural machinery in the 1900s.
