Description
In 1781, the Pennsylvania soldiers under Captain Anthony Wayne mutinied. Mrs. Wick was ill at the time and Temperance Wick, known locally as Tempe (prounouced Tempee), was sent to get her brother-in-law, Dr. Leddel. Upon returning on her horse, several soldiers stopped her and asked her to dismount, telling Tempe that they needed her horse. Tempe played a trick on the soldiers and escaped with her horse. When she returned to the house, she hid the horse in a bedroom using a feather bed to muffle the sound of the horses hooves. Shortly thereafter, the soldiers came looking for the horse and searched the barn and in the woods surrounding the home, never thinking that the horse could be inside the house.
There are many versions of this story. Since her home is only 20 minutes from my house, "the guys" decided this would be a great historical moment for this week! If you visit the house, the guides claim you can still see the hoofprints in the dust on the stairs...LOL!

Fantastic POV and lighting. She could have used the horse as a bed and probably she would have been very warm. 8-) Although it happened in a house near where you live, I suppose you don't have your car in the bedroom! 8-)

LOL! I never thought I would hear that story again. (I went to grade school in Summit.) If I remember right - that was a tiny house with narrow stairs.
