Biographical History
Eben E. Olcott (1854-1929) was a mining engineer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He received his engineering degree from Columbia University in 1874. From 1876-1886, Olcott worked in mines in several western states, Venezuela, Peru, and Mexico. This included a ten month contract with the Cerro de Pasco Copper District in Peru and examining silver mines in Colorado. He led prospecting expeditions in South America, various Caribbean islands, Canada, and the United States. In 1895, he became manager of the Hudson River Day Line of steamers in New York, to which he devoted much of the remainder of his career.
