George M. (George Milton) Warren

George M. Warren, identified in library and book records as George Milton Warren, wrote practical manuals on plumbing and sanitation for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and related federal engineering work. His surviving books include Farm Plumbing (1924), Sewage and Sewerage of Farm Homes (1922 and later editions), and Simple Plumbing Repairs in the Home (1936).

The available sources describe him as a hydraulic engineer or associate hydraulic engineer, with affiliations including the Bureau of Public Roads and the Bureau of Agricultural Engineering. Rather than writing literary works, he produced straightforward public-information guides meant to help homeowners and farmers maintain water systems, handle waste safely, and make basic repairs without specialized help.

Little biographical detail beyond his professional role was easy to confirm from reliable public sources, but his work clearly fits the tradition of practical government handbooks: concise, instructional, and focused on everyday problems. For readers interested in older home-repair and rural-engineering advice, his books offer a useful snapshot of how plumbing and sanitation were explained to the public in the early 1900s.
