520 _a"Two Men on a Mill: The Story of the Restoration of Baxter's Mill" by A. Harold Castonguay is a historical account written in the early 1960s. The book narrates the efforts of two local individuals dedicated to restoring a 250-year-old water grist mill in West Yarmouth, Cape Cod, an endeavor that highlights the significance of preserving historical landmarks and sheds light on early American industrial practices. The narrative recounts the personal journey of the author and his companion, George Kelley, as they face various challenges during the restoration of Baxter's Mill. From dealing with the remnants of the mill's antiquated machinery to navigating the initial skepticism of local residents about the project’s viability, the duo remains determined. Throughout the process, they uncover the rich history of the mill and its previous operators while celebrating the craftsmanship of a bygone era. By the project’s completion, the restored mill not only provides a glimpse into early American life and work but also becomes a source of pride for the local community, demonstrating the value of hard work, persistence, and the importance of maintaining historical heritage.
