Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Week Afloat, or How We Explored the Pequonset River
But we knew that far above Wylie's bridge, in regions remote and unknown to us, there were a mill-dam, a pond, and an old-cotton-mill - one of the Oldest in the country. This was the Cler mont Mill; but We had always heard it spoken of as Shad Factory, because the shad had to stop at that dam when they ran up from the bay in the Spring.
