Revisit The Old Mill is a compilation of thousands of hours of research regarding the history of an iconic structure that influenced the entire state of Texas during the late 1800s and early 1900s. This nonfiction account of Texas history explains how the old water mill began as a grist mill and later was converted into an electrical power plant. Built by early settlers, its reach extended statewide. Its influence and impact on those who learned from it resulted in empires and dynasties that came to fruition - all grounded on this mill that began in a small town. The Old Mill was owned by governors, bankers, entrepreneurs, statesmen, builders, and pathfinders who developed the Lone Star State. The visions, drive, and risks for a state often under attack by Indians were immense, and culminated in the building of cities, railroads, utilities, schools, churches, and additional mills. This book traces the history of The Old Mill, complete with numerous never-before-published photographs, details about the milling process, a look at what the early immigrants were facing, the impact of the War Between The States, and profiles of the heroes who went beyond the norm to make wheat processed at The Old Mill garner "the highest wagon prices of any wheat in Texas." Revisit The Old Mill provides an opportunity to travel back in time, to days of the old west as cities and homesteads began to erupt on the Texas plains, when seeds for the future of Texas were planted and the results were remarkable.
