Description
Excerpt from A True Story of the Christiana Riot
His work is, perhaps, more the offspring of love for local history, than the belief that it is a necessity. Entire originality is not claimed therefore, while much, to the gen eral reader, will be new, no doubt some passages will be found familiar, and, like old friends, it is hoped their reappearance will be hailed with pleasure.
In its preparation the most serious consideration has been given to truthfulness. Neither time nor labor has been spared to verify the statements herein contained. The ground has been critically examined, old residents interviewed, and the story as published in the quarryville sun has with stood the censure of a discriminating public and received only words of praise. On the strength of this it is now presented in a more convenient and less perishable form.
