"Cyrus Hall McCormick" by Herbert Newton Casson is a biography of Cyrus Hall McCormick (1809-1884). He was an American inventor and businessman who founded the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, which later became part of the International Harvester Company in 1902.
Whoever wishes to understand the making of the United States must read the life of Cyrus Hall McCormick. No other 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.
