From there I also found a link to some history on Cyrus McCormick,
having
to do with Chicago during the 1800s. There is some interesting
information and links about the company he started, and its relation to
Chicago Fire and the Haymarket Labor Riots. Visit the link here:

Very interesting stuff, Colin. I now know a lot more about the
Haymarket Riots than I ever thought I would want to know. Obviously, as
in so many cases, I didn't know what I wanted to know until I knew it.
