ABC Butter Making: A Hand-Book for the Beginner
by Frederick S. Burch
About the author
Frederick S. Burch is known for ABC Butter Making: A Hand-Book for the Beginner, a practical manual on butter production that was originally published in 1888. Surviving catalog and library records identify him as the author of that work, and the book has since been preserved and reissued in digital form.
Very little biographical information about Burch appears to be readily documented in major public sources. What can be confirmed is that his name remains attached to a concise instructional book aimed at newcomers, written in a straightforward, useful style that fits the hands-on spirit of late 19th-century domestic and agricultural publishing.
Because reliable personal details are scarce, he is best understood through the book itself: a small but durable contribution to the history of home food-making and dairy practice.
