Edwin Drake was born on March 29, 1819, in Greenville,

New York. Drake was very involved with the railroad before moving towards the oil industry. After retirement of the railroad business, Drake became involved with stockholders of an oil company. Because of the interest in obtaining more oil, Drake was sent to Titusville, Pennsylvania. This expedition led Drake to be sent to settle in Titusville, where he was put on a mission to obtain oil. In order to get this oil, Drake came up with new techniques that allowed oil to flourish in this part of the United States. The technique required drilling in the ground, which had several accommodations in order to be the most proficient. Because Drake did not obtain a patent off this, he did not receive any credit and lived poor most of his life. As time went past his death, Drake finally got recognized and was given commemorations.

Seeing the heaving plows that most used for farming, Deere was inspired to innovate this technique. Deere noticed that plows were not designed for the heavy soil of America.
