Flour Milling at Red River: Wind, Water and Steam<p>by Barry Kaye<br>Department of Geography, University of Manitoba</p>Manitoba History, Number 2, 1981<p> </p><p>Below St. Andrew’s Church on the east side of the Red, John Gunn built a water mill in 1854-1855 on the lower reaches of Gunn’s Creek. [<font color="#990000">63</font>] The Gunns were a well known milling family in St. Andrew’s. John’s father was the retired fur trader Donald Gunn, a historian and naturalist who had also run a windmill in the lower part of the parish since at least 1849. John Gunn’s son remembered that his father’s mill was made out of local timber and stone except for “a few metal gear wheels brought by Mississippi steamer and Red River cart from St. Louis, Missouri and some brass bolting cloth from England.” [<font color="#990000">64</font>] The dam was built with locally quarried limestone and the four millstones, five feet in diameter and eight inches thick, were chiseled out of granite outcrops opposite Grindstone Point on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. George Gunn recalled further that farmers came to the mill “in squeaking Red River carts, in skiffs, in dugouts and York boats, from all over the settlement. They were there from hand-to-mouth yokel of the neighbourhood with a single bag on his back, to the York boat brigades of the Hudson’s Bay company with hundreds of bushels.” [<font color="#990000">65</font>]</p>
