About this book
The Romance of the Reaper is credited to Herbert Newton Casson. The book lists the years when Merrie England was famine-swept: 1315, 1321, 1369, 1438, 1482, 1527, 1630, 1661, and 1709.
The book says that Rome said the first thing is empire, Egypt said the first thing is fame, and Greece said the first thing is genius. The book calls it one of the most baffling mysteries of history that agriculture, the first industry to be learned, was the last one to be developed. Judge Elbert H. Gary had been William Deering's attorney for twenty-five years, and was a farmer's son who had risen to be the official head of the Steel Trust. Iowa is called first in corn, first in farm machinery, and first in the number of her banks.
