Like many North American industries in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the business of making maple sugar and syrup went through a period of maturation and modernization.
Much of this change and new business model was influenced and controlled by one man and the company he created in St.
Johnsbury, Vermont.
George C.
Cary and the Cary Maple Sugar Company grew in size and influence such that it controlled as much as 80 percent of the bulk maple sugar market, bestowing on Cary the title of Maple King and St.
Johnsbury as the Maple Capital of the World.
This book recounts the rise of the Cary Company and takes a closer look at who Cary was and the maple sugar and maple syrup empire that he created.
As encompassing as the Cary Empire was, it overreached its limits and came tumbling to the ground with the stunning bankruptcy and death of its leader in 1931.
However, Cary's legacy did not die with him, and as told here, St.
Johnsbury continued to have a significant place and role in the ever-evolving maple sugar and syrup industry.
