Portsmouth horse and buggy/SeacoastNH.comStrawbery Banke Presents
HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH #144

Yankees made soap in the fall when butchering animals or in spring combining old cooking grease and fireplace ash. Harry J. Freeman made soap for a living after collecting bones, grease and tallow. A livery owner, he likely disposed of his horses in the foul smelling "rendering" process. His home and factory, seen here in 1888, were on Islington Street at Aldrich Road.
