Wow...sixteen year old Sybil Ludington, commissioned by her father, rode 40 miles starting at 9 PM on a cold, rainy April night to warn Danbury, CT. What an unsung heroine. I wonder what she did during the war and after.

Yeah, two years after the actual ride by Revere et al, a teen girl (who probably got married before age 18 in those days) was sent into the cold and wet by her White Patriarch bully of a father to push the gun nut agenda. /s
Seriously, I’m glad to know about her, but her inclusion in a well-known event that took place two years earlier is just anachronistic feminazi b.s.
