From the book, “Five Acres Enough” by R. B. Roosevelt, 1869 …Sold…
…written near the end of the Civil War:
The first necessity…was to have a churn, and to obtain this I
stopped in at one of the numerous stores in and near Fulton Street,
where agricultural implements are sold. I inquired falteringly if
they had churns for sale, not being certain that these came
under that designation, and a good deal confused at the mass of
curious implements and wonderful pieces of mechanism which were
scattered about….
