John Deere He Gave to the World the Steel Plow

Excerpt from John Deere: He Gave to the World the Steel Plow<br><br>His hair was curly, his eyes steel-blue, his muscles powerful in the glow of the forge fire; and when he heard the screech of ungreased axles in worn hubs, signifying the passing of settlers' wagons, he let go the bellows stick, laid tongs aside, strode to the door of the shop, and, standing' bareheaded in April sunshine and a leather apron, cast a critical eye over the newest newcomers to the West of golden promise. Even to the experienced blacksmith who had seen many such, they looked a weary, road-worn lot. Five canvas-covered wagons; tired ox-teams, heads adroop; a pack of flea-bitten dogs; wilted women with small children in the drivers' seats; bedraggled fowls in crates; half- or full-grown boys and maids peering curiously through flaps of the canvas; a calf or two tied behind; gaunt men afoot alongside; patched harness; worn rawhide whips . . .<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from John Deere: He Gave to the World the Steel Plow <p>It's called by the name of Grand Detour, sir. A name from the French, signifying the big bend of the river which you see at this point. He waved an arm around. Have you folks made a choice of place that you're bound for? <p>The tall man cracked his whip idly against a near wheel. We did set out for a town some neighbors of ours have settled at, called Buffalo Grove. You know it? But we'll be settling ourselves down, most anywheres soon, I reckon, if only to give our womenfolk a rest from the riding. What's land like, hereabouts? <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
