Abstract:

The nineteenth century saw the proliferation of water-driven gristmills, liberating rural people from laborious hand grinding and providing community gathering places. Although automation largely replaced traditional milling, many mills still operate today, including the Dellinger Mill near Bakersville, North Carolina.
