It would have been drawn by a steam tractor; in fact, one of the only times I saw it doing its work, it was being pulled by our 1913 Case steam engine. My brother and his friend were taking the newly restored piece to the Bridgehampton Historical Society’s annual Engine Run. And from Sagg Main to White Walls, past the ... by Marilee Foster
