Synopsis
This books tells us everything that we want to know about the windmill in an engaging narrative. This book is an historical overview of the development of wind power in this country during the last century. Mr. Torrey has assembled an impressive collection of historical windmill photos. Wind_Catchers is packed with hundreds of bits of wind power history all woven into a very interesting story. THe sections that detail the rise and fall of the water-pumping windmill industry in the U.S. From 1900 to 1940 are most informative. He has collected from numerous sources a mass of material and photographs not previously put together. This book combines both an antiquarian interest in windmills and an interest in wind as an alternative energy source.
