Sybil Ludington rode to warn the Patriot militia of the British coming, similar to that of Paul Revere, & Sybil was only 16. She covered nearly 40 miles-more than 2x what Revere had ridden-raising 400 men, & fought off a highway man with her father’s musket. (Details in ALT text)
A statue on the banks of a river in Carmel, NY depicting Sybil Ludington’s ride to warn her father’s militia that the British had ransacked a town and needed to get back to work. On the night of April 26, 1777, Colonel Henry Ludington, father of 12, veteran of the French-Indian War, and commander of the militia in Duchess County, New York, (just across the state line from Danbury, Connecticut) received a messenger to his house. The British had entered Danbury and found some American military stores, stolen some, destroyed others and drank the whiskey. Drunk, they began ransacking the town, burning and looting.

Col. Ludington’s militia, some 400 men, was on furlough. Whether the colonel asked his oldest daughter or the 16-year-old bravely volunteered is unknown, but around 9 p.m., she set off in the rain to warn the men. 

The militia caught up with the retreating British and beat them back, too late to stop the attack, but not too late to make them pay dearly.

Alexander Hamilton wrote Col. Ludington: “I congratulate you on the Danbury expedition. The stores destroyed have been purchased at a pretty high price to the enemy.”

Sybil received personal thanks from both Gen. George Washington and Gen. Rochambeau, the French commander fighting with the Americans. (Revolutionary-war.net,

What annoys me most about the anti-DEI attacks: We already rolled back, then ended affirmative action. Ask yourself: Where is this going? What more do they want? If we roll back & then end DEI, what's next? Remember, theirs is a political movement that wants to position empathy itself as a vice...
