Blades in the Sky: Windmilling through the Eyes of B. H. "Tex" Burdick By T. Lindsay Baker Photographs by B. H. "Tex" Burdick Sr. Windmills made life possible in the semi-arid Southwest. This book describes the work of a team of Texas-based windmill erectors in the early 1900s. The windmillers’ harsh, semi-nomadic lifestyle, and their courage as they clambered about on the high-rise towers is chronicled here in words and images.
