Another 1940 photo taken
by Wolcott shows a home-built boiler pit made from mud and rock,
where the juice from the sorghum cane is boiled down to make
molasses. According to Miss Wolcott, the man shown here doing
the cooking went from farm to farm during cane season tending
the making of molasses. He took a share of the syrup for his
pay at the different mountaineers' homes in Breathitt County,
Kentucky. (FSA Photograph) |
