Description
A true story, Sybil Ludington was barely sixteen years old when she galloped to glory riding her horse Star forty miles in a blinding rainstorm along impassable roads and muddy trails to alert her father's militia minutemen, who were home plowing their fields, that the British were burning Danbury. Sybil told them to muster immediately at Colonel Ludington's farm to prepare to march into battle. Because of her long, treacherous ride from 9:00 p.m. until dawn the next morning, over 400 minutemen responded to her cry and her father's regiment was able to push the unsuspecting British troops back to their waiting boats. Sybil rode twice as far as Paul Revere.
