What is Sybil Ludington: Discovering the Life of a Revolutionary War Hero about?

On April 26, 1777, an icy, wind-driven rain ripped across New York State s farmlands shaking the boards of the Ludington family mill as a messenger arrived with news nearby Danbury, Connecticut, was under British attack and burning. Within minutes, sixteen-year-old Sybil Ludington, daughter of an American colonel, mounted her horse, ready for a forty-mile ride through treacherous terrain to alert her father s troops. For more than two hundred years little was known of Sybil Ludington s life beyond that night. This version of her biography for young readers tells how her story as freedom fighter, hero, daughter, wife, mother, businesswoman, and grandmother was discovered. For ages 9 - 12.
