Vintage 1890's-1900 steam tractor. If anyone can identify please let me know. I couldn't believe how big this machine was, as I stood by it I came up to the middle of the rear wheel. Photographed in the mining ghost town of Goldfield, Nevada...
Goldfield was a boomtown in the first decade of the 20th century due to the discovery of gold between 1903 and 1940, Goldfield's mines produced more than $86 million. Much of the town was destroyed by a fire in 1923, although several buildings survived and remain today.
Wyatt and Virgil Earp came to Goldfield in 1904. Virgil was hired as a Goldfield deputy sheriff in January 1905. In April, he contracted pneumonia and, after six months of illness, he died on October 18, 1905. Wyatt Earp left Goldfield shortly afterward.

Outstanding shot, Donna! Tractor building sure has come a long way in 100 years! There are so many different styles of early steam tractors, I would not be surprised if this one was homemade by some very handy farmer? Scale can be very deceiving without some sort of size a reference, but I believe I have seen them bigger than this one. L&F
