- Subject
- A cider mill was an essential on New England farms in the 18th and 19th centuries. However, these could be dangerous pieces of equipment. After the death of his father, Rinaldo Burleigh was the oldest man in the household, and though barely a teenager, had to take a lead role in harvest duties. It was thus that he suffered the cider press accident that cost him his left arm.
