Author to discuss book about hero horse at Seymour Public Library

SEYMOUR - In 1952 Korea, a horse entered the camp of the 75mm Recoilless Rife Platoon, Anti-Tank Company, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. 

Christened Reckless, she began her service by carrying supplies and ammunition and being used to evacuate the wounded. She became a friend to the men who served with her.
Promoted to staff sergeant in 1959, Reckless became a celebrity and was recognized in Life Magazine as one of America’s 100 all-time heroes.

Author Janet Barrett will be discussing her book, They Called Her Reckless, and the incredibly true story of Reckless at 6:30 p.m. July 13 at Seymour Public Library, 46 Church St.

Copies of Barrett’s book will be available for purchase afterwards. 

Any questions call the Library, 203-888-3903.
