When I bike north and west, which I almost always do, I pass Hunter Mill Road, so named because "a grist mill and sawmill named for George W. Hunter, Sr., who acquired it in 1831" was located there.
I assume you know what a sawmill is. And I assume that you, like I, don't know what a grist mill is. Or didn't. Now you do: "A gristmill or is a building in which grain is ground into flour . . ."
On second thought, I know what a sawmill is, but I'm having trouble picturing how an ox-powered sawmill might have worked. Can you envision it?
