The southern agricultural landscape is enriched by the occasional
old cane mill, once the center of family activity each fall as
juice was squeezed from the cane, evaporated in a kettle or
evaporator pan, and converted into syrup for home use or cash
income. Now these grand old machines sit rusting behind
weather-beaten barns, abandoned in pastures, entangled in vines, or
stored in decrepit sheds, their history all but forgotten.
This work gives a full history of the American cane mill,
including the people who designed them and the foundries that
manufactured them. The agricultural origins of sugar cane and
sorghum, a manufacturing history of the roller cane mill, and
earlier syrup extraction devices are discussed. The majority of the
book is devoted to the histories of more than 150 American
foundries that manufactured cane mills, with hundreds of
photographs and other illustrations.
