The steam engine before you saw many years of service to agriculture and lumbering here on the Camas Prairie at the turn of the 20th century.
In the 1920s the City of Grangeville used a steam engine like this with a roller in front instead of wheels to smooth out the deep wagon ruts on Main Street.
David Schwarz donated the engine to the City of Grangeville in memory of his father, Albert J. Schwarz.
Charlie Steele's threshing outfit, photo taken about 1909 - it travelled from Dobe Flats (Tolo Lake) to the Winona Buttes. The steam engine was operated by Dwight Morrow, with the cook house for the crews following.
Threshing was an annual event and contract operators and crews followed the harvest. They threshed with bundle wagons hauling grain to the the machine or late in the fall from stacks of bundled wheat.
