George Washington Scott (February 22, 1829 – October 3, 1903) was a Florida and Georgia businessperson, education philanthropist, former planter, and former military officer in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.

In March 1865 Scott and his men played a prominent role in the Battle of Natural Bridge, south of Tallahassee, which prevented a Union occupation of the State Capital.

[1] While on his plantation, Scott experimented in a variety of crops and planted 12 acres (49,000 m2) of sugar cane, cabbage, collards, rutabagas, Dutch turnips.

Scott also created a 16-foot (5 m) overshot waterwheel transferring water from a pond going to corn, sugar and cotton processing.

The bones were crushed with a heavy cast-iron stamp powered by a waterwheel and the meal mixed with sulfuric acid.
