Plowing the Bell Farm - c1883


Sketch based on an as-yet unlocated photograph. Starting in 1882 men, horses and machinery began to plow the Bell Farm. Over 20 sulky plows at a time, arranged in staggering rows, travelled in one direction all morning, then turned around after lunch and returned to the starting point.
