The record — long form
The Black Bass is the river tavern — the 1740s inn on the Delaware, the canal workers' bar where Old Hans was stabbed. The names changed — Wall's Tavern to the Lumberville Hotel to the Black Bass, the fishing that gave the final name. The murder is the legend — the canal worker's knife, the barstool that stays, the bloodstain that's reported.
The canal was the context — the 1830s Delaware Division, the immigrant workers who built it, the brawls that ended in the tavern. The restoration is the survival — the 2009 renovation, the suites with the river views, the ghosts that are part of the package. The Black Bass is the Bucks County haunt — the oldest inn with the oldest ghost, the canal bar where the blood appears.
The file keeps the Black Bass: the 1740s origin, the canal era, the Hans murder, and the haunted reputation.
The Black Bass is the archive's Bucks-County file — the inn with the stabbed innkeeper.
