Thomas W. Poole Sketch of the Early Settlement and Subsequent Progress of the Town of Peterborough

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Well pleased with the results of this exploration visit, the party passed down the river, and across Rice Lake on the same evening. The little piece of engineering thus projected was successfully carried out, and in about two years Mr. Adam Scott had a small saw and grist mill in Opera tion under one roof. The same water privilege is still in use, though turned to much better account in the large frame mill in active Operation on the corner of King and Water streets.
