T Lindsay Baker. He wrote the definitive books on windmills. The 'black book', (the windmill bible) and the green book. The green book tells about the manufacturers, and the known literature about American windmills. It is not a repair manual. The black book isn't either, but does have a lot of info how mills are put together and designed.

Thanks Windy. I wasn’t thinking about him when I ask. I do have the Black field guide. I need to get the green book.

I was there back last May. At one time they had a video showing the skinning of a Bison with stone tools. Not there anymore. I guess some New Curator decided it didn't fit his concept.
