Loving Allis Chalmers follows decades of a reluctant, meandering journey that takes the reader from the backroads of impoverished rural Idaho to the backyards of the rich and famous in resort towns just hours away. Ascetic in a hawker's stall, Marxist in a capitalist's guise, the author relates the subjective changes that arise when melding the incompatible. Whether weaving spare desert prose with esoteric Buddhist doctrine, ecology with existentialism, or agriculture with Greek thought, Loving Allis Chalmers is a book as rarified as its subject matter, tracing the trivial to the profound, the anecdotal to the universal with graceful and unexpected turns. No reader will go unchallenged-and no reader will go unrewarded.

Excerpt from Low Corn King Manure Spreaders <p>The manure spreader is necessary to a farmer from two standpoints. First, it is a time and labor saver, reducing the work of two men to one, and thereby decreasing working time 50 per cent. Second, the spreader puts the manure on to the ground in such condition that the soil is able to quickly assimilate the plant food constituents and thereby render the greatest good to the soil. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
