520    River, Reaper, Rail: Agriculture and Identity in Ohio's 
       Mad River Valley, 1795-1885 tells the story of farmers and
       technology in Ohio's Champaign County and its Mad River 
       Valley from the beginnings of white settlement in 1795 
       through the decades after the Civil War. This is a story 
       of land-hungry migrants who brought a market-oriented farm
       ethos across the Appalachians into the Ohio Valley. There,
       they adapted their traditional farm practices to 
       opportunities and big changes brought by the railroad, the
       mechanization of the harvesting process, and the 
       development of state-sponsored farmer organizations. For a
       few decades in the middle of the nineteenth century, this 
       part of America's heartland was the center of the nation 
       geographically, agriculturally, and industrially. With the
       coming of the Civil War and the nation's further 
       industrialization and westward expansion, the 
       representative centrality of west central Ohio diminished.
       But the shared conviction that "we are an agricultural 
       people" did not. This book presents their embrace of that 
       view as a process of innovation, adjustment, challenge, 
       and conservative acceptance spanning two or three 
       generations.
