And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

The canopy was an option, sold separately. These traction engines are a marvel. Various museums of steam engines around the country are highly worth a visit. The museums I have been to strive to have the tractors working, not static displays.
There is a movie which I thought delightful. The title is The Swinging Maiden. The main feature is one of these engines. Many more engines are shown.
The movie is actually titled "The Iron Maiden". A british released film. It stars Alan Hale before he became the Skipper on Gilligan's Island. The movie is free to watch on youtube.

The town in which I live has a museum which has several of these engines. As I recall, they run them from time to time.
