  Bayard Taylor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bayard Taylor (James) (January 11, 1825 – December 19, 1878) U.S. author and writer, was born at Kennett Square in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
Bayard Taylor always considered himself native to the East, and it was with great delight that in 1851 he found himself on the banks of the Nile, He ascended as far as 12' 30° N, and stored his memory with countless sights and delights, to many of which he afterwards gave expression in metrical form.
Taylor felt, in all truth, the torment and the ecstasy of verse; but, as a critical friend has written of him, his nature was so ardent, so full-blooded, that slight and common sensations intoxicated him, and he estimated their effect, and his power to transmit it to others, beyond the true value.

Bayard Taylor is fairly representative of his State by virtue of his Quaker descent and his mixed English and German blood.
Aside from the abounding life of nature in which he immersed himself as a boy, he found inhibitions on all sides: in his moral and religious life, in his practical life as a farmer’s son, and in his intellectual life as a boy for whose education means were wanting.
Taylor, with all his aspiration and energy, was ill-educated, ill-disciplined, emotionally and intellectually unsymmetrical.

 Bayard Taylor
Bayard was named after James A. Bayard, of Delaware, and his first book bore on its title-page, through a mistake of Griswold, its editor, the name of "James Bayard Taylor." After reaching his majority he always signed his name Bayard Taylor.
On 24 October, 1850, Taylor married, at Kennett, Mary Agnew, a Quaker girl of exquisite character, to whom he had long been betrothed, but who was now in an incurable decline, and she died within two months.
In 1867 the Taylors revisited Switzerland and Italy, and the poet was brought near to death by an attack of Roman fever.

 Eldorado: Adventures in the Path of Empire by Bayard Taylor - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
In June of 1849, Taylor was dispatched by Horace Greely of the New York Tribune to report on the California gold rush.
Taylor's reports from California were originally intended to be published as a series of "Letters" to the Tribune, but when faced with the wealth of material he found waiting for him in San Francisco, Taylor promptly decided that a full-length narrative was the only method for doing it justice.
Using San Francisco as a base, Taylor traveled by horse, schooner, and foot to the placer mines in the Sierras, the bustling city of Sacramento, the nearly deserted lands of the Spanish missions, and attended the first constitutional convention in Monterey that set the boundaries and forged the laws for the new state.

 Bayard Rustin - Civil Rights Leader
Bayard Taylor Rustin was born on March 17, 1912, to Florence Rustin, one of eight children of Julia and Janifer Rustin of West Chester, Pennsylvania.
Julia and Janifer decided to raise young Bayard as their son, the youngest of the large Rustin family.
Randolph's calling off of the projected march caused a temporary breach between him and Bayard Rustin, and Rustin transferred his organizing efforts to the peace movement, first in the Fellowship of Reconciliation and later in the American Friends Service Committee, the Socialist Party, and the War Resisters League.

 Bayard Rustin - Civil Rights Leader - QuakerInfo.com
It was at this low point in his life that Bayard Rustin began a twelve-year stint as executive secretary of the War Resisters League.
Arguably the high point of Bayard Rustin's political career was the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom which took place on August 28, 1963, the place of Dr. Martin Luther King's stirring "I Have a Dream" speech.
Although Bayard Rustin lived in the shadow of more charismatic civil rights leaders, he can lay real claim to have been an indispensable unsung force behind the movement toward equality for America's fl citizens, and more largely for the rights of humans around the globe, in the twentieth century.

A member of the Kennett Square Historical Society (PA) recalls seeing such a statue in Berlin, "outside the cathedral beyond Brandenburgertor." She was in Berlin in the mid-90s, so any such statue would have survived the war and the occupation years.
