About Neil
https://neildahlstrom.com/Neil Dahlstrom is an archivist, writer, and speaker. He grew up and lives in the Quad Cities, once known as the farm implement capital of the world. Today the Quad Cities is a vibrant community of cities on the Illinois and Iowa sides of the Mississippi River with an exciting history of innovation in the farm equipment and automobile industries.
Neil works at Fortune 100 company John Deere, as the archivist and historian. He is a member of the Kitchen Cabinet, the Food and Agriculture Advisory Board at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, and Visit Quad Cities.
Neil’s research and speeches have taken him to historical societies and museums, abandoned factories-turned-coffee shops, and state-of-the-art research centers across the country.
Tractor Wars: John Deere, Henry Ford, International Harvester and the Birth of Modern Agriculture is the untold story of the farm tractor. Underappreciated and overlooked, the emergence of the farm tractor and the birth of modern agriculture is not what you think. The race to introduce the farm tractor to the farmer was as bitter and hard fought as the race between Ford, Dodge, and General Motors. And Henry Ford, whose lifelong dream was to build a tractor, was at the center. Automobiles were luxuries. But the tractor and the power farming revolution it ushered in would revolutionize the world in a different way, allowing a shrinking farm population to feed a growing world.From the boardroom to the courtroom, from the draft table to the factory and the farm, the introduction of the tractor is an innovation story as essential as man’s landing on the moon or the advent of the Internet. Against the backdrop of a world war and economic depression, Tractor Wars is the unknown story of industry stalwarts and disruptors, inventors and administrators racing to invent modern agriculture. Before John Deere, Ford, and International Harvester became icons of American business, they were competitors in a forgotten war for the farm.
“Mr. Dahlstrom…has written a superb history of the tractor and this long-forgotten period of capitalism in U.S. agriculture. We now know the whole story of when farming, business and the free-market economy diverged, divided and conquered.”
-Michael Taube, Wall Street Journal
“Neil Dahlstrom’s Tractor Wars engagingly tells the story of one of the great business battles of the twentieth century. Anyone interested in business, agriculture, or tractor history will enjoy this great tale, well-told.”
Gary Hoover, Executive Director, American Business History Center
Before John Deere, Ford, and International Harvester became icons of American business, they were competitors in a forgotten battle for the farm. By the turn of the twentieth century, four million people had left rural America and moved to cities, leaving the nation’s farms shorthanded for the work of plowing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, and threshing. That’s why the introduction of the tractor is an innovation story as essential as man’s landing on the moon.

In three successive years this small town produced more than a billion buttons annually.
This episode is a remarkable story told by an equally remarkable Guest. Dustin Joy has the great responsibility to reveal the circumstances along the Mississippi River which was the Gold Rush of the Midwest!
Muscatine Iowa was the PEARL BUTTON CAPITAL OF THE WOLD.
https://muscatinehistory.org/about/
CLUSTERS OF CLAM SHELLS LIE on the banks of the Mississippi River in Muscatine, Iowa. Look closely and you’ll see each shell is dotted with perfectly neat holes. Many decades ago, these shells were plucked from the bottom of the river by the ton, soaked, steamed, and swept of their meat and pearls. Circular saws cut multiple discs out of each shell. These were called “blanks.” Each blank was sanded down into a perfect pearl button, ready to be sewn onto a dress, jacket, or glove.Muscatine’s pearl button industry hit its peak between 1908 and the ’20s, when factories in the Iowa town produced 1.5 billion buttons, or one-third of the world’s pearl button supply. These buttons were worth $3.3 million, according to the 1910 edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica. But few of us who grew up along the Mississippi, who’ve held those milkweed-grey shells with holes in them, have actually held pearl buttons or heard a cohesive origin story about the industry. To get the definitive history I went to Terry Eagle, the Director of The National Pearl Button Museum at The History and Industry Center, in Muscatine. “The story of the pearl button is a national growth story, a national treasure story, and an environmental lesson,” Eagle says. “And if you don’t believe me now, I’ll prove it to you.”

M. Brunsdale, Special Collections Librarian at Illinois State University in Normal Illinoishares a story which describes a thrilling feature of life under the circus tent. She co-authored a book with Mark Schmitt, The Bloomington-Normal Circus Legacy, the Golden Age of Aerialists (History Press, 2013) [email protected]

By Ryan Denham) It is used without permission.
There aren’t a lot of places on the Illinois State campus where, at 9 a.m. on a weekday, a visitor has to be buzzed in through a locked door to reach a room called “The Vault.”This is where Maureen Brunsdale and Mark Schmitt ’96 call home. They run Milner Library’s Special Collections and Rare Books department, comprised of four unique collections, including the Historical Textbook Collection and Children’s Literature Collection and the Lincoln Collection of Harold K. Sage.
But their busiest collection – the one that brings in researchers from around the world and has landed on ABC News, the Huffington Post, and the New Yorker – is the Circus and Allied Arts Collection.
“It’s a collection with a lot of depth,” said Schmitt.
Brunsdale is head of Special Collections and Rare Books. During a recent tour for a first-time visitor, her passion for the circus collection was clear as she moved between the narrow stacks of The Vault, rattling off individual stories about an impressively large chunk of more than 100,000 items in her care.
Otto Ringling’s letter to his brothers.
She pulled out a letter written in 1907 by Otto Ringling to his brothers – yes, those Ringling Brothers – suggesting they all consider buying their competitors, Barnum & Bailey. The brothers ended up doing just that later in 1907, though they didn’t operate them jointly until 1919. No one else has Otto’s letter – not the Ringling-themed Circus World museum in Baraboo, Wis., and not the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Fla.
“The beginning of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey is right here!” Brunsdale said.
Milner Library and the Wisconsin and Florida museums are the three largest circus history research facilities in the U.S. Milner’s circus collection stood at 2,100 items in 1963 but now has more than 100,000 items – from 490-year-old books to canceled checks from 20th century circus companies. The single largest collection of items came via donation from Sverre Braathen, a collector from Madison, Wis., who befriended many in the circus community and did legal work for them.
Milner got the bulk of his collection after his death in 1974. Brunsdale only took over as Special Collections chief four years ago, and it had been 20 years since someone at Milner had the job full-time. Schmitt, a former st

P.T. Barnum, in full Phineas Taylor Barnum, (born July 5, 1810, Bethel, Connecticut, U.S.—died April 7, 1891, Bridgeport, Connecticut), American showman who employed sensational forms of presentation and publicity to popularize such amusements as the public museum, the musical concert, and the three-ring circus. In partnership with James A. Bailey, he made the American circus a popular and gigantic spectacle, the so-called Greatest Show on Earth.Barnum was 15 years old when his father died, and the support of his mother and his five sisters and brothers fell largely upon his shoulders. After holding a variety of jobs, he became publisher of a Danbury, Connecticut, weekly newspaper, Herald of Freedom. Arrested three times for libel, he enjoyed his first taste of notoriety.
In 1829, at age 19, Barnum married a 21-year-old Bethel woman, Charity Hallett, who was to bear him four daughters.

The Great Lakes hold over 80 percent of the United States’ freshwater.
The Guest is qualified in every way to discuss Lake Michigan ship wrecks.
Her enthusiasm makes Cathy Green a dedicated steward of maritime history. A nautical archeologist she is, but in this episode you will meet a professional diver and executive the Maritime Museum, Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Now, 962 square miles of Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan have become protected waters — and not for the reason you might think.Although the lake provides a habitat for a diverse group of plants, fish, amphibians and other animals, it is also home to a precious archaeological trove. The waters along the Wisconsin coast are a shipwreck graveyard containing 36 known vessels, and researchers say there could be nearly 60 others still to be discovered.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has designated the area the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary, citing shipwrecks of “exceptional historical, archaeological and recreational value.”The ships got there over the course of hundreds of years of travel and commerce along the lakes, and Lake Michigan’s chilly, fresh waters acted as the perfect preservative. While salty waters can decay sunken ship parts and corrode metal, fresh water doesn’t. The very water that brought hundreds of ships to ruin in Lake Michigan served to preserve them for future generations to study. Many of the ships that wrecked along the state’s coast look much like they did the day they sank.(Washington Post)

Home to the World’s Largest Collection
of Mustards and Mustard MemorabiliaA mustard museum? ABSOLUTELY! According to Barry Levenson, founder & curator of the National Mustard Museum, you can blame it all on the Boston Red Sox. In the wee hours of October 28, 1986, after his favorite baseball team had just lost the World Series, Barry was wandering an all-night supermarket looking for the meaning of life. As he passed the mustards, he heard a voice: If you collect us, they will come.
He did and they have. In 1992, Barry left his job as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Wisconsin to open this most improbable museum, now one of Wisconsin’s most popular attractions. The Mustard Museum has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, the popular game shows Jeopardy! and To Tell the Truth, as well as countless features on other national television and radio shows, and in major newspapers everywhere.
So, why all the fuss? Well, with more than 6,090 mustards from all 50 states and more than 70 countries (and counting), our collection of Mustard History is a sight to behold. From the exquisite Gibbons Collection of mustard pots to antique tins & jars and vintage advertisements, the National Mustard Museum is truly a shining temple to the “King of Condiments”.
Help us honor the King of Condiments. National Mustard Day is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in August. It is always a fun-filled, sun-splashed day for the whole family.Traditionally, our Mustard Day street festival features music, games and other entertainment, as well as hot dogs, brats, FREE mustard sampling, and more. The National Mustard Museum has been the official sponsor and host of this event since 1991
At least that’s the word according to Professor Mustard, in the library, with the mustard jar. At POUPON U, we recognize the values of intellectual honesty, freedom of expression, and hard work. We don’t practice those values, but we do recognize them. Instead, we offer a stimulating learning environment where faculty and students engage in spontaneous food fights.Yes, the kooky coeds at America’s Mustard College are always feeling a little condimental. Which is why they are rarely seen without their official Poupon U gear. Hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, pennants — all the traditional campus gifts as well as some not-so-traditional bookstore merchandise.
POUPON U understands the importance of a quality collegiate football program, and that is why we don’t field a football team. But we do have two (yes, TWO) outstanding fight songs that will make your spirits soar.
So give it the ol’ college try, Poupon U-style!

The key focus of the museum and the heart of its work is to educate and enlighten the publics about history.
The exhibit Power, Production and Pioneers: The St. Joseph River describes the river's impact on the development of South Bend and Mishawaka. The St. Joseph River provided power to operate machinery before the invention of electricity and internal combustion engines. In addition, community residents relied on the river for commerce, travel and life. With the passing of years the St. Joseph River has taken on different roles and continues to adapt to changing times. The exhibit was developed by The History Museum in collaboration with PBS Michiana-WNIT documentary's Then, Now and Always...The St. Joseph River Story. The documentary tells the story the river, celebrating how it has shaped the region and continues to be an integral part of the community. The exhibit is one of several projects produced by other community organizations along the St. Joseph River, from Hillsdale, Michigan to Lake Michigan.

Prudence did not fear condemnation of neighbors, prison, or threats of bodily harm. Her school was eventually open for African American women only. Only for that reason was her school vandalized, and burned did she, for the sake of her students, close the school. Skillfully she leveraged this and more for the sake of promoting her goals.
Prudence lived a life which made for ripples yet expanding in our world. Prudence Crandall has made for a better world, one which has made my word a better one. Her influence in matters of Civil Rights are hidden from view. They are properly identified in this episode.
The museum is a static representation to her life. A living and dynamic story permeates contemporary societies worldwide. That is because her actions and principles powerfully and effectively inspired her contemporaries. Each of them passed the torch forward. I am honored to pass the torch with this episode.

Leroy Anderson was the composer behind such light music classics such as 'The Typewriter', and 'Sleigh Ride'. He has been dubbed by movie music maestro John Williams as "one of the great American masters of light orchestral music."Young Leroy was given his first piano lessons by his Swedish-born mother who was a church organist.
When he was 11, Leroy began studying piano at the New England Conservatory of Music. By 17, he was composing, orchestrating and conducting the school orchestra.
At Harvard, Anderson studied trombone, organ and double bass, as well as composition and orchestration.
He spoke English and Swedish and became fluent in Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, German, French, Italian, and Portuguese.
Anderson and his brother played in various dance orchestras. They also performed on cruise ships of the Norwegian Line crossing the Atlantic.
In 1942 Anderson joined the Army, and was assigned to Iceland with the U.S. Counter Intelligence Corps as a translator and interpreter. In 1945 he was moved to the Pentagon as Chief of the Scandinavian Desk of Military Intelligence.
Anderson was released from active army duty in 1945 and moved to New York to pursue his composing career.
Sleigh Ride was written during a heat wave in the summer of 1946. The Boston Pops' single of it was originally issued on red vinyl.
In 1958, Anderson composed the music for a Broadway show Goldilocks. Even though it earned two Tony awards and his score was well-received, the story was criticizSupport the Show.
