The Story Of Kennett

The Story Of Kennett is historical classic written by Bayrad Taylor and first published in 1866. At noon, on the first Saturday of March, 1796, there was an unusual stir at the old Barton farm–house, just across the creek to the eastward, as you leave Kennett Square by the Philadelphia stage–road. Any gathering of the people at Barton's was a most rare occurrence; yet, on that day and at that hour, whoever stood upon the porch of the corner house, in the village, could see horsemen approaching by all the four roads which there met.
