“One of the traditional occupations of New Mexico that has disappeared, a victim of technology, is that of the miller. He was once a familiar figure in villages up and down the Rio Grande, maintaining customs of his trade that stretched back to the Middle Ages in Spain.”
—Marc Simmons, Early New Mexico Had Hundreds of Mills
