Sybil Ludington's Ride - Vincent Dacquino - Brewster Library 05-08-2024 Poem

Vincent Dacquino gives a performance of a Poem about Sybil Ludington which was written by Berton Braley. Putnam County is located in the southeastern portion of New York State. The area is full and rich of American History. Many battles and events occurred within and around the county. Most notable is the capture of Major John Andre, a British spy who secretly worked with Benedict Arnold to Betray the Colonies and surrender West Point to the British. Sybil Ludington's Ride is well known around the locals here, however it is not a well known and/or understood event outside our community. There are many corrections and errors surrounding Sybil's Life and her ride.
A message from Vincent
"My name is Vincent Dacquino, author of THE CALL TO ARMS and PATRIOT HERO OF THE HUDSON VALLEY: The Life and Ride of Sybil Ludington. I am coming to you today to ask for your help. The poem I’m about to share is based on a true story of a young American hero who desperately needs to be recognized in every village, town and city for her American heroism. With the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution coming quickly, it is imperative that she is not forgotten."
The poem was written by Berton Braley, a great American poet, and published in The Sunday Star: This Week's Magazine,Washington D.C. April 14, 1940. It is written in the style of another great poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and speaks for itself. Sybil Ludington's Ride
