Bartlett, Levi, 1793-1885

Levi Bartlett (1793-1885) was a tanner and farmer of Warner, New Hampshire. In the 1830s, Bartlett sold off his tannery and struggled to cultivate his family's farm. From his experience in reclaiming this nutrient-exhausted land, Bartlett became a proponent of scientific farming. As a direct result, Bartlett began writing occasional columns for agricultural magazines. He was especially interested in geology and chemistry as it related to agriculture.
