| Summarize Why the author wrote this. I think the author wrote this book to send a message to everyone who reads this that we humans shouldn't interfere with the lives of animals and that they have it harder than us because we have zero predators and we are at the top of the food chain. Also hunting animals is wrong and rude; but helping animals get better from a human interference is the right thing to do and that the people who helped hawk were very noble. |

September 24, 1829 Hello John Adams, I was requested to send you a letter as I heard they were going to make a pamphlet informing others about all the heroes that helped us become a free country. I am flattered that you have asked me of this great task and I am happy to help. I believe that if you were a patriot then you greatly helped us become a free country, but this sounds like a great idea. If you have any concerns please contact me. First of all I am Sybil Ludington daughter of Henry Ludington. At about nine o’clock at night on the twenty sixth of April in seventeen seventy seven I rode through several towns alerting everyone about the British attack, telling them to get ready. With my prized stick I knocked on doors and even defended myself from a highwayman. I rode through Carmel then onto Mahopac, then to Kent Cliffs, from there to Farmers Mills and back home. I rode to warn the Patriot militia, and the farmers that the British attack is coming. At the time I was only sixteen. There were many dangers and close calls, I hid behind trees and waited until the marching British soldiers passed. It was scary yet exciting and an amazing ride for sure. If I had to pick some things that are important to me it would probably be the stick that I became well known with, and my horse Star. Also maybe the lovely American Flag that we Americans proudly represent. At sixteen my mother expected me to be responsible and to act lady-like but; I wanted to be in the militia because I was tired of being ruled by Great Britain. Just like everyone else, I wanted to be free and independent. I hope I gave you enough information. Thank you again John Adams and anyone else who is behind this. Yours Truly, Sybil Ludington

This was a very cool experience. I thought Zeb was pretty cool because he spit wood for us with an axe. The little village they made was awesome. The Inn seemed like it was the central place in towns because it had the mail, newspaper, and had a Tac room. It also served as a school, church, court and an Inn. Only three people worked there. Overall it was fun we even learned how to hold a fake musket.
