Changes in Brecknock Life and the Reading Market
In Brecknock township over the last fifty years merchants shifted from spring trips to Philadelphia to stock Reading markets for April 1 settlements. Farmers now bring produce to Reading for ready cash, while livestock care improves with staple crops. Travel shifts from heavy carriages to the automobile, and tenant rents once supported farm laborers. A large trout caught near Spring Creek earns a state reward, highlighting local sport and talent.
