Sybil Ludington: Patriot Hero of the Hudson Valley
When: Sun., April 28, 2 p.m. 2019
Mr. Dacquino will talk about never-before-released documents and family correspondence on the sixteen-year-old hero of the Revolutionary War. The author and retired teacher believes his new book will be a definitive treatment of the life and celebrated late-night ride of Putnam County heroine Sybil Ludington. "It's time," he states, "to finally set the record straight on who Sybil was in the time and place she lived, and clarify the erroneous and embellished facts that have circulated for far too long."
