Carter Litchfield was an early member of the society and a generous supporter of the Chapter. His research focused on linseed oil mills and processing. His press publications can be viewed at this link.: https://openlibrary.org/publishers/Olearius_Editions.
Several current Oliver Evans Chapter members have been involved with this title.
This gazetteer provides historical background on the linseed oil industry and detailed histories of more than 70 mills in the Garden State, which was a center of production during the 19th century. Many of these mills were “combination” mills, manufacturing not just linseed oil but a variety of other products by waterpower, so the book will also be of interest to fans of gristmills, tanbark mills, and the like. Well illustrated. Hardcover, 223 pages. Written by Carter Litchfield [SIA], Richard L. Porter [SIA], and Paul W. Schopp, with contributions from Dorothy White Hartman, Patrick Harshbarger [SIA], and Stephanie Stevens. Published posthumously by Litchfield’s Olearius Press, all proceeds have been generously donated to the SIA by the Litchfield estate.
SIA Member Price: $25 ($20 plus $5 shipping). Members outside of U.S. please email sia@siahq.org for additional shipping charges. You must be a current member of the SIA to buy this book.
