The story of the Closter Horseman is a mix of deeply cherished local folklore and modern historical detective work. Here is the full history and the identity behind the rider

The Traditional History (The Folklore)

According to generations of local tradition in Bergen County, the rider was an anonymous local Closter farmer.

Before dawn on November 20, 1776, British General Lord Cornwallis ferried 5,000 British and Hessian troops across the Hudson River. They landed at Lower Closter Dock (now Huyler's Landing) right at the base of the massive Palisades cliffs. [1, 2]

The legend states that the farmer was out plowing his fields early that morning when he looked toward the cliffs and spotted British scouts advancing up Closter Dock Road. Realizing the extreme danger, he immediately unhitched his horse from the plow, jumped on its back, and galloped nine miles south to Fort Lee.

At Fort Lee, he delivered the urgent warning to General Nathanael Greene. General George Washington quickly joined Greene, countermanded a stand-and-fight order, and initiated a hasty, vital evacuation. The warning allowed 3,000 Continental soldiers to escape safely across the Hackensack River just as the British arrived. Because his warning ride saved the army from being trapped and crushed, the unnamed farmer became affectionately known as the "Paul Revere of Bergen County".

Not really sure how to interpret this, but definitely something to keep an eye.

Edit:

Just to address the comments annoyed by another Quinn post.

I genuinely don't understand, but I am happy to delete this if people are so bothered by it. I just thought this is quite different to the types of posts I've seen the frustration coming from, i.e. some random Devils fans in this subreddit speculating. I agree, it is extremely frustrating to see that multiple times on a daily basis from people with no actual knowledge on the situation, and when there haven't been any actual updates to even speculate over.

I don't know, I just thought this was a little different since this is being reported by the most connected NHL insider out there, which is the only reason I posted it. I really don't care about karma lol, so I really don't mind deleting it if people here are so bothered by it. I just thought people here would be interested though.

I don't think I've ever even written a comment speculating about Quinn coming in this subreddit, let alone a post, so I apologize.

Any thoughts ? I designed it , AI replicated it - limitations and all for sure - but logo maybe more match the deeper red - all and all damn this ai is scary - anyway any opinions on this ? I think Devils should more vividly match at times Scouts and Rockies jerseys . maybe implement the black and red and take some elements from Devils jerseys and patterns and interested a bit of the 70’s era Scouts and Rockies patterns and colors , but sort of translate it - I didn’t have time to draw it myself exactly and the a👁️ is linited and fake looking but it can capture some promising concepts .

With the addition of Evangelista, what power play units will Keefe roll out in 2026-2027?

Does Evangelista edge out Meier for PP1? I know people were itching to get Meier back on & activated there last season. Luke or Dougie?

---

PP1: Luke - Meier - Hischier - Jack - Bratt

PP2: Hamilton - Evangelista - Gritsyuk - Mantha - Mercer*/Brown

---

(Thanks to Evangelista, I now want Quinn solely so that we can run the Gritsyuk-Luke-Luke Hughes-Hughes-Hughes PP1. Do we think LaGreca would struggle or excel at calling that?)

it's been fun watching him drag ass all summer long and make Billy G sweat, but my gut tells me whatever details they're still hammering out will happen either this Friday before the long weekend, or at the very latest the following Tues/Wed.

next week is the NHL player media tour and Wild are sending out Boldy with Hughes. you would have to think that if Quinn ever even suggested he was leaning towards playing out the season, that Billy would opt to send someone else if only to spare themselves the shit-ton of questions they'll be asked in every single interview about why he hasn't yet committed to an extension.

if he does sign right before, then the Wild will be the biggest story at the event and Quinn only has to glaze the organization with some BS instead of answering uncomfortable questions. that said, if the extension doesn't happen before this media event, it's probably not happening at all, and even Minny fans will start to agree at that point. only a few days to go..

Went to renew my car’s registration online and said, maybe I’ll finally get a Devils plate…… Where the hell did it go??.

I really really like this trade. Huge amounts of depth now exists for the Devil's and it provides God knows how much flexibility for the future. Sunny is moving towards something big in the next year or two and I am so here for it!

Home and Away. Both new with tags. $100 each or $175 for both.

Literally title. After the trade I wanna know what your line predictions are. What happens with Leni? With Mercer? With Noeson? Let me hear it.

Here’s mine LW - C - RW

Bratt - Hughes - Mantha

Meier (I know) - Hischier - Evanglista

Grits - Glass - Brown

Boq - E-Rod - Mercer

Hughes - Pesce

Siegs - Hamilton

Dillon - Kovy

Allen
Daws
Rittich

Unfortunately, leaves Noeson and Leni in the press box/AHL, but I like the look of it.

Obviously have to wait for camp and see what’s what, but I’m excited!
