King Adell Black Tee Shirt

 

The Leeds family occupied the center of the King Adell Black Tee Shirt , but they were not stereotyped, superstitious rural people. They were politically active religious pioneers, authors and publishers. They also supported the Crown. The Jersey Devil legend  originally the Leeds Devil  began as a cruel taunt against them, not because of a monstrous birth, but because they had the cultural misfortune of joining the wrong side politically. Daniel Leeds came to America in 1677 and settled in Burlington. He published an almanac and was promptly attacked by his Quaker neighbors over his use of astrology in it. The use of astrology in almanacs was quite common. Undeterred, he continued and, despite himself being a Quaker, they called him “evil.”
