A great story of a boy who followed his father's path. Cyrus McCormick's invention (The Reaper) is one of the greatest and the most underrated technologies in the world. His machines enabled farm owners to harvest wheat crops 10x faster during his time.
He was really an entrepreneur. He sold his product from the United States and all throughout the european countries. Wonderful story.
