From the earliest days of European settlement, Americans have cherished the sight of a windmill--an instantly recognizable feature of the American landscape.

"Tex" Burdick and from corporate archives of windmill manufacturers. It depicts windmills in a wide range of settings and uses--not only on ranches and farms but also alongside railroads, in industry, and even in urban areas.
