Military and Naval History of the Rebellion in the United States With Biographical Sketches ...
About two thirds of this book deals with working or faux working grist mills mostly from the Eastern US that use water or wind, the last third deals with mills remodeled for living. It's a pretty coffee table book very much in the modern architectural style, everything clean and dramatically lit, a bit hard to believe in the case of working mills. Harsh lighting and moving machinery are an ugly combination as witnessed by the horrible accidents that happened in these old mills. The text covers the workings of these mills in fair detail, I hadn't realized how automated late 18th century mills were, they are a bit like being in a giant cuckoo clock, impressive examples of the early industrial age. The last bit on remodeled mills was not that interesting to me, nice pictures but I'm more into tech history. While not very technical, a nice introduction to grain mills for those with a grinding need to know.
