	Cyrus H. McCormick Biography (1809-1884)
		Cyrus Hall McCormick was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia, the eldest sonof Robert and Mary Ann McCormick.
		Theelder McCormick patented a thresher and other farm machines, but none of themwere commercially successful, and his attempts to build a mechanical reaper,a device capable of cutting grain, ended in failure.
		McCormick, aware that the rapid opening of the Midwest and Great Plains to settlement would lead to demand forfarm machines, and realizing the strategic importance of a midwestern location, opened a factory in Chicago in 1847, where he produced 800 reapers the first year.

	American Experience \| Chicago: City of the Century \| People & Events
		The tool that preceded Cyrus McCormick's horse-drawn reaper was a hand-held scythe, a device that had remained basically unchanged for 5000 years.
		The machine was patented in 1834 and Cyrus made and sold copies from the Virginia plantation where he was born, but business was not good.
		Upon hearing of the destruction of his factory, Cyrus discussed the situation with her and they agreed to sell their house in New York, return to Chicago and rebuild the factory, even larger than before.
