Sixteen-year-old T Sybil, the eldest of eight children in the Ludington family, could see the worry in her mother’s eyes. Would her husband, Henry Ludington, have to go away again? Henry was the colonel and commander of the only Colonial militia regiment between Danbury, Connecticut, and Peekskill, New York. Thudding hooves in the yard abruptly ended the family’s evening meal. Henry went to the door as Sybil and her sister Rebecca got up and began to clear the table. The girls were washing dishes when their father came back into the room with the courier at his side. “Here,” said the colonel, “sit you down and have some supper.” Sybil glanced over her shoulder and saw that the weary messenger was no older than she. 2 Across the room, her parents were talking together in low tones. -

Preliminary Bulk Density Mapping of the Upper and Lower Bakken Member Shales of Southeastern Saskatchewan: a Potential Indicator for Oil Generation and Expulsion
Preliminary Bulk Density Mapping of the Upper and Lower Bakken Member Shales of Southeastern Saskatchewan: A Potential Indicator for Oil Generation and Expulsion Dan Kohlruss 1 and Kosta Stamatinos 2 Kohlruss, D. and Stamatinos, K. (2014): Preliminary bulk density mapping of the Upper and Lower Bakken Member shales of southeastern Saskatchewan: a potential indicator for oil generation and expulsion; in Summary of Investigations 2014, Volume 1, Saskatchewan Geological Survey, Sask. Ministry of the Economy, Misc. Rep. 2014-4.1, Paper A-2, 7p. Abstract The use of bulk density coupled with formation resistivity of shale source rocks is a possible method of identifying the level of maturity of the rocks, and their potential for oil generation and oil expulsion. The Late Devonian to Early Mississippian Bakken Formation shales of the Williston Basin are extremely rich source rocks and in some areas of the basin have been responsible for generating and expelling vast amounts of oil. Migration of this oil into suitable stratigraphic traps has resulted in unprecedented economic gain in parts of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, North Dakota and Montana. Studies of the Bakken Formation in central Williston Basin in North Dakota have identified areas where its shales are, without question, thermally mature and have generated and expelled oil. However, Bakken Formation shales in northeastern Williston Basin in Saskatchewan have been examined and reported as being thermally immature, with no evidence of oil generation or expulsion. This paper will illustrate how mapping bulk density and formation resistivity has identified anomalous areas in southeast Saskatchewan where Bakken Formation shale source rocks may indeed be thermally mature and may indeed have expelled oil, contrary to previous studies’ findings. -
The Ludington Regiment, Sybil Ludington and the 1777 British Invasion of Connecticut
THE LUDINGTON REGIMENT, SYBIL LUDINGTON AND THE 1777 BRITISH INVASION OF CONNECTICUT One of the most enduring stories that arose out of the British invasion of Connecticut is the midnight ride by sixteen-year old Sibel1 Ludington, daughter of Colonel Henry Ludington. Her ride was initiated to recruit members of her father’s regiment located in Dutchess County, New York, to help repel the British invaders. This story, as told by recent writers, involves a sixteen year old girl living with her father and eleven brothers and sisters, a horse of varied descriptions, a dark and stormy night, a route that covered forty miles on narrow, rutted and muddy roads, a ride that lasted from 9:00pm until dawn, Sibel knocking on doors along the route, use of a stick by Sibel to spur her horse and to fend off at least one attacker and a successful ride that recruited 400 men who were in her father’s regiment.2 The Sibel Ludington story, as this book is written, is acknowledged to have been first mentioned in a Memoir of Colonel Ludington published by the Ludington family in 1907 and in an article in Connecticut Magazine that same year written by a descendant of the Henry Ludington family, Louis Patrick.3 Even though these two simultaneously publications did not appear until 130 years after the event, the Sibel Ludington story has continued to gather momentum and is now an accepted part of Revolutionary history. Not only does the current day story go beyond the original from 1907, it has acquired a plethora of new details added by each new storyteller. -

New Insights Into the Three Forks Group
New insights into the Three Forks Group, southwestern Manitoba: stratigraphic changes and new sedimentological model M.P.B.Nicolas, Manitoba Innovation, Energy and Mines, Manitoba Geological Survey, Winnipeg, MB [email protected] Summary Over the last decade, there has been considerable amount of tight oil exploration and development focus in the Late Devonian-Early Mississippian Three Forks Group of the Williston Basin in southwestern Manitoba, namely the Torquay, Big Valley and Bakken formations. This group has demonstrated remarkable hydrocarbon development capacity, with excellent potential to find new discoveries. Prior to the drilling rush that has ensued, there was little core information to help properly evaluate the Torquay Formation. This formation was previously referred as the Lyleton Formation and the Three Forks Formation of the Qu’Appelle Group in southwestern Manitoba. Detailed evaluation of this formation has resulted in a revision to the stratigraphic nomenclature previously used in Manitoba, by extending eastern Saskatchewan’s current nomenclature into Manitoba. Understanding the stratigraphic framework has also lead to a better understanding of the depositional environment for the Three Forks Group, particularly the Torquay Formation. The depositional environment of the Torquay Formation had received little attention in the past. The first significant attempt was by Christopher (1961) who attributed the oxidation and brecciation of this component units to regional intraformational weathering processes and the development of soil horizons; this model was acceptable for its time, and while still valid today, can be extended into a farther reaching model. The sedimentary model proposed here for the Torquay has no modern analogue, but can best be described as a giant evaporitic platform.
