5.0 out of 5 stars
Appealing for young and old. A must read for all girls,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sybil Rides for Independence (Library Binding)
The book is an accounting of one young girl's brave ride for freedom during the American Revolution. Sybil Luddington is a true life heroine. The story is easy for young people to understand and demonstrates the role women (girls) played in our country's history. As a native of Connecticut, it was fun to read and share with my daughter a story about the important role a young girl played in the history of Ridgefield and Danbury. A fun way to learn about the American Revolution.

Every teacher should share Sybil's ride with the students!,

This review is from: Sybil Rides for Independence (Library Binding)
Drollene Brown gave a fascinating account of Sybil's ride for Independence. (Sibbell is the correct spelling which is on her grave stone.) She is a national heroine and has had very little recognition. There have been great women who have not been given credit for their accomplishments throughout history. Sibbell Ludington is a wonderful example of a brave (soldier) who was willing to sacrifice her life for the independence of her country. All teachers should read the story of Sibbell Ludington to their students to bring interest to the American Revolution. I know I am biased since I am a descendant (Henry James Ludington III) however it is a wonderful account of a 16 year old girl's bravery and loyalty for her country
