Dr. Jared Eliot (1685-1763) of Killingworth, Connecticut, is distinguished as an early American scientist and innovator. Eliot's lasting fame comes from his work as preacher, physician, and early advocate of scientific agriculture. He was also a student of metallurgy, and over two centuries ago he conducted an experiment which is still deserving of a footnote in the history of American iron and steel. Jared Eliot's contribution was the first making of iron, and then steel, from the sands of the ocean.
