"This is a 'Threshing Machine Crew' holding a 'Mons Thresher.' They would move from one farm to the next and thresh the stacked wheat or oats. The grain could not be threshed standing dead ripe in the fields as it is today. It was reaped and shocked in the fields (about 12 bundles to a shock), cured out and then ricked or stacked. Later the Threshing Crew moved in and threshed. The earliest used oxen power and later came steam power. Even later, gasoline powered ones were used. This one was the steam powered. This picture was taken in the Sugar Grove/Little Indian Creek area off the old Morgantown/Fairmont Pike.
