The Mill
The mill’s low stone foundation on the steep bank at the end of Mohawk Street, the race water running down to the river, people fishing at the water’s edge and the trail along the top; the mill in eight lines, the promise, the King’s Mill, grist and saw, grinding by 1796 and burnt by 1815, how it works, the ladder, the lesson, the Mohawk Mill, a first mill in numbers and its mark; the Mohawk Milled goods on white in the drawing, the flour, the white corn meal, the bread, the cornbread and the sandwich; a first mill in four figures, 500 kg a day, 58 acres, 4 people, $150,000 and up; and the ladder of a bushel, five rungs from the field to the sandwich with a little person on each and what the bushel is worth there, illustrative. The web edition shows the ladder of a log, from the bush to the house, and the Mohawk Milled goods, flour, white corn meal, bread, cornbread and the sandwich, each at a tap; turns the mill wheel, faster at a tap as the sack fills with flour, and climbs the ladder rung by rung as the value counts up, with the Mohawk Milled goods to tap, a first mill in numbers, what it costs to start, and the words of the mill.
