Where were Bill’s buffaloes? Before the western came the real thing – the buckskinned William Cody, who toured the county at the turn of the 19th century

Nine days that shook Kent: the general strike paralysed Britain a century ago. Was it a victory for the workers or the road to ruin?

Mutiny crushed by Kentish soldiers: righteous revenge, colonial savagery … Britain’s response to the Indian rebellion

Betty, the people’s poet: her adopted home in Sussex has paid tribute to this working-class writer and so should her Kent birthplace

Long odds, but Short’s takes a gamble: the plane-maker was bombed in Rochester and moved its production north, but this was not just an industrial story

Everyday life on the marsh: Thomas Miller’s journal records humdrum events of the mid-1700s, which makes them all the more valuable to history

Royal line saved: would the Victorian age have existed but for a Kent doctor?
