This is a new edition of Beimfohr's book, containing many additional photographs and including the recollections of Colonel Froelich regarding his father, John Froelich's, invention and testing of the tractor in 1892 in the wheat fields of South Dakota. Included are photographs of John Froelich and crew threshing wheat, first with a steam tractor, and later with the new Froelich tractor powered by the 16hp Van Duzen vertical engine. The first advertising brochure is also reprinted that was Froelich's effort to market his tractor, the Waterloo Gasoline Traction Engine.
