Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the intertwined evolutions of horsemanship and the mechanization of farming in the United States from the 17th century to the post-World War II era. The author explores the cultural and economic impact of these technologies, drawing on data on horse and tractor populations, farm mechanization, and agricultural production. The book examines how the decline of horses and mules on farms paralleled the rise of the tractor, which was closely tied to wartime shortages, expanded demand for farm products, and the availability of affordable farm machinery. The author also discusses the impact of government policies, the development of garden tractors, and the replacement of horses with mechanical alternatives in specific farm tasks. This book provides insights into the ways technological advancements have shaped agricultural practices and the broader social and economic landscape of the United States.
