A. W. (Albert Watson) Fulton

Born in 1859, A. W. Fulton is identified in library and public-domain records as Albert Watson Fulton. He is best known for Home Pork Making, a detailed manual on hog slaughtering, bacon curing, lard making, and storing pork for household use.

The book was published in the early 1900s and was aimed at farmers, country butchers, and suburban readers who wanted dependable, step-by-step advice. Its straightforward style and thorough coverage helped it endure well beyond its first publication, and it has been preserved in major digital archives and public-domain collections.

Little biographical information about Fulton was readily confirmed from reliable online sources beyond his name, birth year, and authorship of this work. Even so, his surviving book gives a strong sense of his voice: practical, methodical, and focused on everyday food knowledge that mattered in rural life.
