SUMMARY:Revolution & Tragedy: The Life of Anne Ledyard\, Colonel Ledyard’s Wife\, By John Steward
DESCRIPTION:John Steward is a writer and historian who has devoted years to researching the life and death of Colonel William Ledyard\, the Battle of Groton Heights and Revolutionary War era Groton.  On September 16\, Steward will join us to present a program on Groton during the American Revolution through the life and perspective of Colonel Ledyard’s wife\, Anne Williams Ledyard. \n“History has ignored Anne Ledyard\,” says Steward\, “and yet\, she lived her entire married life in the throes of revolution\, only to have her promising future as the wife of a wealthy merchant torn asunder when the British killed her husband\, commander of the garrison on Fort Griswold\, in the Battle of Groton Heights in 1781. Within months of Colonel Ledyard’s death\, she also lost two daughters\, one sixteen and the other nineteen years of age\, and a two-year old son. She lived only nine years after Colonel Ledyard was killed\, dying at 46 years old\, with her beloved eight year old son dying of the same colonial disease alongside her.  No historian has ever considered her life\, yet she suffered as much as anyone from the Battle of Groton Heights.” Steward will describe Anne’s married life and widowhood until her own tragic death nine years after the battle\, and why she should be remembered. \nWednesday\, September 16\, 7:30 pm \nLatham/Chester Store\, 108 Main Street\, Noank \n  \n

SUMMARY:From Italy to Noank:  The Wooden Boats and Lasting Legacy of Salvatore “Frank” Bracci
DESCRIPTION:Born in Pesaro\, Italy in 1878\, Frank Bracci immigrated to the United States in the early 1900s and established a remarkable 54-year career as an esteemed master wooden boat builder and ship carpenter in Noank. Frank built his own boat shop at Morgan’s Point in 1913 and later purchased the old Pendleton Yard in Mystic\, where he hand-crafted numerous catboats\, lobster boats\, cruisers\, and schooners. Over the decades he produced several iconic local vessels\, most notably the commercial draggers BABY I and BABY II for the Bacchiocchi brothers\, and the 60-foot MANDALAY. Beyond his significant maritime legacy\, Frank was an active member of the local Noank community and a family man. He and his wife\, Emma\, had six children\, all of whom were born in Noank\, and many of their descendants still live locally. Join us on Wednesday\, November 18 for a panel discussion and remembrances of his remarkable life and career.
