From the rear cover:

“Beginning with the sawmill site, looking at the pond, the wheel, the sluice, the owner’s house and the barn, Barbara Robertson constructed a record of the sawmilling industry in Nova Scotia. This book examines the sources of power, the technological developments and the growth of the industrial network that made turbines, waterwheels, steam engines, saws and much more.

The author’s search for a true and vivid history of sawmills combines the diaries of mill owners, business records, photos, technical drawings, and other archival records.”
