Sinopsis
This book narrates the life and work of Cyrus Hall McCormick, the inventor of the mechanical reaper and founder of the modern agricultural machinery industry. Born in 1809, McCormick grew up on a farm in rural Virginia. The hardships of manual labor and the annual threat of famine in his time drove him to invent a machine that could automate the harvesting process. After sixteen years of dedicated work and experimentation, he unveiled his groundbreaking invention in 1831, revolutionizing farming practices and paving the way for large-scale mechanized agriculture. The book delves into the challenges and triumphs McCormick faced during his pioneering journey, highlighting his unwavering determination and resilience. It also explores the impact of his invention on society, from abolishing the drudgery of farm labor to feeding the growing urban populations and ultimately transforming the world's food supply chain. This book is not only a biography of a remarkable inventor but also a testament to human ingenuity and its capacity to solve complex problems and improve the lives of countless others.

Reseña del editor
United States must read the life of Cyrus Hall Mc Cormick. No other one man so truly represented the dawn of the industrial era, the grapple of the pioneer with the crudities of a new country, the replacing of muscle with machinery, and the establishment of better ways and better times in farm and city alike. Beginning exactly one hundred years ago, the life of Mc Cormick spanned the heroic period of our industrial advancement, when great things were done by great individuals. To know Me Cormick is to know what type of man it was who created the United States of the nineteenth century. And now that a new century has arrived, with a new type of business development, it may be especially instructive to review a life that was so structural and so fundamental.
