This is a horse drawn road grader. At the time I thought of the road grading that was done by Pa and his team in the Little House on the Prairie series of books by Laura Ingels Wilder. When I read that episode to my DDs I tried to imagine what all of the activity described in the book looked like. Well, here before me was the machine. I will look for the picture of the whole apparatus. Don't you love old machines?
don't you love old machines? you ask--OH Yes!

--did you know that Laura Ingalls Wilder got the chance to publish her autobiographical books because her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane was such a well know editor? (She was among other things the editor of the Woman's Day Book of NeedleCraft!)
thanks for visiting my blog
Rose had a very interesting life to, Oftroy. She went to China, was it, when she was in her 80's to write about it for her paper? I can't remember the details but I do remember reading with amazement that she could do something like that in her 80's.
