The art of harvesting the sweet sap of the sugar maple has given way to artificial syrups and the difficulty and unpredictable nature of tapping sugar maples have given way to a quick trip to the supermarket. But, those who have ever broken a chunk from a cake of maple sugar and have slowly let it dissolve in their mouth can testify to the\u00a0very special nature of real maple sugar or maple syrup. There is no comparison. The Creech family who lived close by the Settlement School had the skill of\u00a0harvesting this natural sweetener and passed along their knowledge to Pine Mountain Settlement School staff.<\/p>\n<h3>MAPLE SYRUP and SUGAR: Gallery I<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-13975 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?attachment_id=13570'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/nace_1_077a-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-13570\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-13570'>\n\t\t\t\t[Maple sugar camp.

The author is unknown. The typewritten original\u00a0was found in the personal papers of<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=26408\"> Fern Hayes<\/a>, a secretary at Pine Mountain from 1938 until 1953.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;\"><strong><em>MAPLE SYRUP AND PINE MOUNTAIN SETTLEMENT SCHOOL<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>One of the features that <a title=\"\u201cUNCLE WILLIAM\u201d CREECH\" href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=2005\">William Creech<\/a> discovered on the north side of Pine Mountain was a grove of mature sugar maple trees. It is not known whether he knew about the trees before he registered his land grant, but the trees that caught his eye were in Tan Troff Hollow, about mid-way of his land along the northern side of Pine Mountain. Tan Troff Hollow is the eastern-most boundary of the present main campus of the Pine Mountain Settlement School.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Uncle William made spouts to insert into maple trees in order to collect sap in the early Spring. The sap was boiled, stirred and skimmed until it thickened and a &#8220;sugar camp&#8221; shed, boiling pans, and collecting apparatus was the focus of the maple syrup work. Uncle William split and hollowed small trees to form troughs that were arranged so that the sap could be poured to barrels at the camp, instead of being carried down the mountainside. The use of the trough prevented many a spill of sap, as workers slipped on ice and snow, or tripped over rocks.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Workers at the School introduced Uncle William and his sons, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=40693\">Henry<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=48277\">Columbus<\/a> in particular, to the metal spouts that held collecting buckets next to the tree. The metal products were obtained and used for a number of years and both maple syrup and sugar became a staple in the family diet. It is unclear how much of the syrup found its way onto the campus. Certainly it was a gift to various workers and also graced the table for entertaining guests from the School.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>One of the School workers, <a title=\"MARGUERITE BUTLER\" href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=2136\">Marguerite [Butler] Bidstrup<\/a> worked closely with Uncle William, who, as postmaster, was required to submit periodic accounting of postal materials. Marguerite undertook the task to balance the books and to prepare the report. She also helped with accounts in the general store Uncle William operated in connection with the post office. She spoke of maple syrup and biscuits in the Creech home. She also baked yeast bread for Uncle William late in his life and maple syrup was eaten with the bread.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Many Boarding School students may recall the Dogwood Breakfast tradition. For several years during the Community School era, the tradition was maintained and a Dogwood Breakfast became an integral part of the Spring meeting of the Board of Trustees. For the Board breakfasts, Henry Creech furnished maple syrup, made from the trees at Uncle William&#8217;s sugar camp.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>When Uncle William divided his land, he asked his two sons, Henry and Columbus, who were to share the grove of sugar maple trees, not to log the site. He liked the idea that part of the mountain would remain untouched. And so it was not logged until after Henry&#8217;s and Columbus&#8217; times. However, maple trees in the grove died during the many years of syrup making. The dead trees, along with other trees in and around the maple grove, were felled and sawed and chopped for firewood for boiling sap.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">[**Possibly written by<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=33301\">\u00a0Jane Bishop Hobgood<\/a>.

When WWII brought a rationing mandate on sugar consumption, the Creech family were no longer dependent on the maple grove for their supply of sugar. The thought that the store supply would be limited brought about a creative solution to the rationing mandate.\u00a0The following account was sent to <a title=\"MILLY MAHONEY\" href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=2606\">Milly Mahoney<\/a>, a teacher at the School, from Keith Morgan, a relative\u00a0of the William Creech family sometime in the 1980s.

During the summer, the trips to town could be as frequent\u00a0as once a week but during rainy weather when the road over Pine Mountain was\u00a0muddy and Impassable, this could be a month or two.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Delia stocked her canning supplies including 100-pound bags of sugar. Henry, her husband, brought her supplies as needed and as ordered.

At least one one-hundred-pound bag and maybe more.\u00a0Then came the appeal from the government to turn in excess supplies and\u00a0items on the rationing list to government agencies that would now distribute it to\u00a0the needy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Henry\u00a0was a very patriotic man and he asked if she had anything he could\u00a0<\/em><em>take into town and turn in to the ration board.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Angela remembers them talking about supplies in the dining\u00a0room.\u00a0Delia knew the ration board and she wasn\u2019t about to give up her supplies\u00a0to some lazy in-town people.
