Pretty much everyone knows about Paul Revere and his midnight ride through Massachusetts to warn people that British troops were coming. Less well-known is a similar incident a couple years later, when Sybil Ludington, the daughter of a colonel in the American militia, rode through Putnam County, New York, to alert the militia so they could try to defend Danbury, Connecticut.
