American Farm Tools, by R. Douglas Hurt. 120 Pages. Softbound. Although only 3 percent of the American population live on farms, many people still have an interest in agriculture and are eager to learn about their nation's rural heritage. As agricultural methods have changed over time, many implements and tools that were once commonly used and understood are now only vaguely recognized, if remember at all. In this book, Hurt provides a comprehensive survey of agricultural technology from the days of hand power through the steam age. This fascinating chronology will interest any one interested in the innovative tools that changed the nature of farming and which stimulated further innovation of American agriculture technology.
