"IT WAS ABOUT a half hour after midnight on an April Sunday in 1812 that the band of some six score Yokshiremen finally made their way down the rutted lane that led to a place called Rawfolds Mill, a looming multistory building, protected by a gated wall, housing the hated woolen machines of the hated manufacturer William Cartwright."
