Based largely on well researched fact, this intriguing story of a Priestley syndicate and their leader, Rebecca, makes an interesting and exciting read - a must to anyone with a Priestley in the family or with an interest in the period of the industrial revolution in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Family history researchers will find the final chapter particularly helpful and informative.

This book was written to ensure a lasting record of the author's research, as a story that needed to be told and as a tribute to the Priestleys who fought for what they believed to be their right, especially Rebecca, "a thorough Yorkshire woman".
