A PERSONAL INTRODUCTION The present author’s interest in R.G. LeTourneau is long-standing. My father, George Niemelä, Sr., was a mechanic, welder, heavy-equipment operator, and businessman in northern California. When the author was a boy, Dad worked for R.G.’s brothers-in-law (Howard and Buster Peterson) at Peterson Tractor, a Caterpillar dealership based in San Leandro, CA. He was a machinist/welder in the first crew of Peterson’s Roller Exchange Shop. 2 In 1961 Dad opened an equipment rental yard in Stockton, CA (Bee Wise Tool and Equipment Rental). His business was two blocks from a Montgomery-Ward warehouse that once was R.G.’s second Stockton factory (built in 1930, expanded in 1934).

    Notes on the Origins of Some American Tractors

    Notes on the Origins of Some American Tractors The tractor used by the CCC crew in Southwest Harbor, as shown in SWHPL 10609, was a Best 30 crawler tractor with open radiator sides, made in 1924-1925 as one of the last models made by the C.L. Best Tractor Company before it merged with Holt Manufacturing to become the Caterpillar Tractor Company. 1890. Benjamin Holt and Daniel Best experimented with various forms of steam tractors for use in farming. They did so separately, with separate companies. 1904. Holt's first steam track-type tractor. 1906. Holt's first gas track-type tractor. 1915. Holt "Caterpillar®" track-type tractors are used by the Allies in World War I. 1925. The Holt Manufacturing Company and the C. L. Best Tractor Co. merge to form Caterpillar Tractor Co. In 1908, at the age of 70, Daniel retired. His son, Clarence Leo Best ("Leo"), continued in his father’s footsteps, and with his father still giving advice, continued to experiment and improve on their tractors. One improvement made was the track laying design. This type of tractor moved on rolling tracks instead of wheels. He made several different models, but two really stood out as notable. The two models — the 30 hp field tractor, and the 60 hp field tractor — were well received and highly praised by the farming community. These tractors would eventually launch a new line of tractors that are still used today. Caterpillar Tractor Company In 1925, the C.L. Best Tractor Company and the Holt Manufacturing Company, who also manufactured tractors and had trademarked the Caterpillar brand, merged to form the Caterpillar Tractor Company.

FIFTY YEARS ON TRACKS Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/fiftyyearsontracOOcate FIFTY YEARS ON TRACKS Copyright 1954 by Caterpillar Tractor Co. CAT lH *•>'» * > *\\ BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION . ^1 2 IN 1925, the C. L. Best Tractor Co. and The Holt Manufac- turing Company merged to form Caterpillar Tractor Co.; leading track-type tractor builders of that time, the two firms had chosen an old and familiar Holt trademark for use in their new corporate name. This anniversary book tells the story of Caterpillar— and its important predecessors— from a begin- ning rooted in Nineteenth Century soil. From the vantage point of a reporter, it presents a cross-section view of the Company today— its people, plants, business friends, products, markets. It sketches the colorful industry of which Caterpillar is a prominent part. "Fifty Years on Tracks" is a tribute to the men who build roads and dams and levees and airports . who till and terrace farmland and harvest its abun- dance . stretch pipelines across plains and up over mountains . cut down hills and erect buildings and bridges in their place . fell and snake logs from the woods . clear roads and streets and save lives when winter comes. To the people who build today's pyramids in months instead of decades— with machines and free men instead of slaves by the thousands. To the workmen who keep hammering down the cost of moving a yard of earth . who have more than doubled farm output per man-hour in the last 50 years .

Researchers should contact Special Collections to request collections, as many are stored offsite. History The Agricultural Technology Manuals Collection began as a series in the F. Hal Higgins Collection. In 1927 F. Hal Higgins began collecting materials relating to the history of combines and tractors. Over time the collection expanded to include materials describing farm implements, farm commodities, and equipment for logging, earthmoving and construction. The Library, University of California, Davis acquired Higgins' collection in 1959. Regular patron use of the collection indicated a strong interest in the manuals for tractors and other farm machinery. In order to better serve patrons, Library staff shelved the manuals together as they were found in the collection. This arrangement also made it easier to acquire new titles. In 1983, the manuals that had been accumulated in the F.

    Thesis Accelerating Waters: an Anthropocene History

    THESIS ACCELERATING WATERS: AN ANTHROPOCENE HISTORY OF COLORADO’S 1976 BIG THOMPSON FLOOD Submitted by Will Wright Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Master’s committee: Advisor: Mark Fiege Jared Orsi Adrian Howkins Jill Baron Copyright by Will Wright 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT ACCELERATING WATERS: AN ANTHROPOCENE HISTORY OF COLORADO’S 1976 BIG THOMPSON FLOOD Scale matters. But in the Anthropocene, it is not clear how environmental scholars navigate between analytical levels from local and regional phenomena on the one hand, to global Earth-system processes on the other. The Anthropocene, in particular, challenges the ways in which history has traditionally been conceived and narrated, as this new geological epoch suggests that humans now rival the great forces of nature. The Big Thompson River Flood of 1976 provides an opportunity to explore these issues. Over the Anthropocene’s “Great Acceleration” spike, human activities and environmental change intensified both in Colorado’s Big Thompson Canyon and across much of the world. The same forces that amplified human vulnerability to the catastrophic deluge on a micro-level through highway construction, automobile vacationing, and suburban development were also at work with the planetary upsurge in roads, cars, tourism, atmospheric carbon dioxide, and flooding on the macro-level. As a theoretical tool, the Anthropocene offers a more ecological means to think and write about relationships among time and space. ii PREFACE The idea for this thesis started with several disasters and a cartoon—though not together.
