The Deerings of International Harvester
This is the story of the Deering family which became one of the richest families in the US during the first half of the Twentieth Century. It is the story of William Deering who risked his already substantial fortune by investing in a small company in Illinois which was manufacturing a reaper for the farming industry in America. Deering's business ability and his willingness to take on risk resulted in his being the sole owner of the Deering Harvesting Company. His company was second only to the largest farm equipment manufacturer, the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company. The Deering family and the McCormick families, both located in the Chicago area, were major rivals and fierce competitors. In 1902 the J. P. Morgan organization was successful in merging the two, giant farm equipment manufactures into one company to be known as International Harvester. International Harvester became the fourth largest corporation in the US by 1909, and the Deering family owned approximately one-third of that company. You will see how the Deering family blended into management of this giant corporation, their accomplishments both within the company and most importantly their philanthropic and other endeavors. The story will be told of the huge mansions the Deerings built, the changing relationships between the McCormicks and the Deerings and the major philanthropic and charitable efforts they have and continue to support. When one learns the story of these two families, one also learns the story of the huge corporation named International Harvester. "The McCormicks of International Harvester" written by Ray Burhop, tells the story of the McCormick family. This book can be considered the companion to that book as it completes the story of the two families which were the catalyst and driving force in the creation of International Harvester Corporation.

The Deer-Smellers of Haunted Mountain: The Almost Unbelievable Experiences of a Cerebroic Hunter in the Hills of This World and the Lowlands of the Universe With a Gypsy-Eyed Spirit Adventurer
This book takes readers on a spellbinding journey through the mystical experiences of a cerebroic hunter in both the earthly realm and the cosmic expanses, interlaced with adventures alongside a gypsy-eyed spirit. Set against an evocative backdrop that blends romance, adventure, philosophy, occultism, and conquest, it explores the profound connections between the tangible world and the vast unknowns of the universe. Through its pages, this narrative delves into themes of existential questing, the fusion of science and spirituality, and humanity's place within the grand tapestry of existence. The author skillfully weaves a tale that is as much about personal discovery and inner transformation as it is an exploration of otherworldly realms. Positioned within a rich tradition of speculative fiction that examines the boundaries of human understanding and experience, this work invites contemplation on our collective longing for meaning beyond the material world. With its engaging blend of humor, mysticism, and heartfelt storytelling, this book offers insights into not just the nature of hunting and adventure but also probes deeper into questions about consciousness, metaphysical realities, and our cosmic destiny. It stands as a captivating testament to the enduring allure of exploring both our internal landscapes and the infinite spaces beyond them.
