Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 3In six brief chapters, Brown tells the story of a brave and precocious heroine of the Revolutionary War. In 1777, Sybil Ludington, at the age of 16, made a night ride to warn local minutemen of the British attack on Danbury, Connecticut. Her effort raised more than 400 men who were then able to force the British back to their ships in Long Island Sound. Told in a tone empathetic with the young woman's excitement and fear, the text presents a historic event accomplished by an ordinary person. This event is slightly fictionalized, but it is done so in a manner responsible to fact. The book's concluding chapter provides information regarding known records of Sybil's life, as well as the historical context in which her famous ride took place. The book is liberally illustrated with warm pencil drawings and red wash overlays.Catherine Wood, Shelburne Museum, Vt.
