Title: Historic Mills of Ontario
Description: Belleville, Ontario: Mika Publishing Company, 1987. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0921341083. "Richly illustrated with nearly 100 photos in full colour and many more in black and white, this book concentrates on Ontario's saw, grist, flour and woollen mills, beginning with some of the early mills built by government before the 1800s to supply the needs of Loyalist settlers who came to Upper Canada. Although these mills have long since disappeared, they have been depicted by contemporary artists and their portrayals have been reproduced. Written for anyone interested in Ontario's past, for history buffs and genealogists, for it tells about the people who built and operated the mills and about their successes and failures." - dust jacket. 208 glossy pages.
