5.0 out of 5 stars If you only buy one windmill book... 15 April 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
A Field Guide to American Windmills is the most thorough book available on the subject of American windmills. Baker has painstakingly researched the histories of dozens of American windmill manufacturers, photographed surviving examples of each, and finally provided a silhouette drawing of each model to aid the 'windmill spotter' in identifying them. This book is a must for anyone interested in American history, rural heritage, or who just likes windmills.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have! 2 July 2008
By JB - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
T. Lindsay Baker has written the definitive guide to windmills. This book is thoroughly researched and is more than just your typical coffee table coverage passing as a field manual. With extensive footnotes, manufacturers appendix, history and individual model coverage, Baker provides the scholarly coverage windmills deserve in the development of the US, in particular the American West. The settlement of this country, both real and myth, would be significantly different without the development of the windmill as it was.

Format:Hardcover
Among windmillers, this book is known as "the bible". For more information than most people need, this is the one to own.
