Saladee’s Self-Propelling Rotary Steam Plow – Posters and prints on paper or canvas by standard digital or deluxe giclee printing.
The Saladee steam plow was designed to have 18 plow bottoms spiraled around the axle at the front (left) of the machine. This was intended not only to plowed the ground but to pulled the whole machine along. The rotary harrow at the rear simultaneously worked up the soil. There€™s no evidence that the Saladee steam plow was ever actually built.
Cyrus Wellington Saladee was born in 1829, in Pittsburgh, to Adam and Julia Mueller Saladee. He was the oldest of 7 children.
Saladee was an inventor who held over 200 patents. Among them were linen collars, the index for playing cards, a Saladee buggy, the Texas Steam Plow (patented on June 25, 1861) and other articles. A tireless self-promoter, he founded “The Coach-Makers Illustrated Monthly Magazine” to advance his inventions. The purchasers of his patents had all grown rich, and he too was immensely wealthy for a time. Unfortunately he eventually died in poverty.
C. W. Saladee moved around frequently and usually was seen wearing a top hat. He was highly intelligent and had a very eccentric personality.
He was married to Elizabeth A. Armstrong on September 12, 1850, in Ohio.Colonel Saladee was an officer in the Confederate Army and saw service in the Civil War with a Texas Regiment. He moved to Freeport, IL after the Civil War and was employed by the Henney Buggy Company.
On September 3rd, 1894, Col. C.W Saladee died from an overdose of an accidental overdose of morphine. His widow was the former Mrs. Abigail Chubb Chambers, wife of the Mexican and Confederate War General of that name. They had married after the passing of the first Mrs. Saladee.
By the end of the 18th century steam powered vehicles had been developed in several countries. Steam carriages and water craft came into use by the Victorian era. Steam tractors for use in farming were soon developed. The ingenious design of the Saladee steam plow was not designed to simply pull a convention horse-drawn plow, but to do the plowing itself. However, using conventional plows pulled by steam tractors made the use of a dedicated plowing machine unnecessary.
Advances in farm technology followed the latest inventions very carefully. Properly designed, steam power could plow a field much faster than farm animals or people alone.1883/USA
