1932 John Deere's Company: A History of Deere & Company and its Times, by Wayne G. Broehl, Jr. (read 19 June 1985) This covers the years from 1837 to 1983. Some of it was very good, other parts really not too intriguing. Deere & Co. really doesn't have much to do with my farm experience, since we used little Deere equipment. But this was about the first history of a business I have read. I thought it worth reading. ( )
