In the spring of 2007 she and Eddie Bauer began to collect these stories. By summer of 2007, the collection had grown to a considerable number of unique stories; stories of hardship,, endurance, war, arson, spying, and farming, spanning sixty years. To tie theses stories together, they decided to use the life history of Eddie Bauer's family. Eddie is a life long resident of Haycock Township and has been collection historical facts about the area for many years.

A Brief History of Haycock

  

HAYCOCK nestled in the heart of Upper Bucks, remains one of the county's bucolic municipalities. Formally organized in 1763, the township has a rich history. From its eponymous mountain to the banks of the Tohickon Creek, the landscape encompassed picturesque villages, hectic mills, industrious potteries, productive farms, and the heavily-traveled Bethlehem Road. A Brief History of Haycock traces two hundred years of people, places, and events in the township from the earliest settlers to the turn of the twenty-first century.

Authors Thomas Moll and Robert L. Light

This book is available at Sines 5 and 10 in Quakertown, Haycock Municapal Building and at the Richland Library in Quakertown, PA
