博客來The name Paul Revere is synonymous with American courage. But few know the name of Sybil Ludington.
At just sixteen years old, with the British burning a nearby town, she mounted her horse and rode a harrowing forty-mile circuit in the dark of night to rally her father’s militia. Her desperate race against time helped save a community and turned the tide of a battle. Yet, her story was lost to the annals of history for nearly a century, a victim of historical amnesia.
This book goes beyond a single act of heroism to tell the full story of her remarkable life. It is a comprehensive exploration of a life defined not just by one night of bravery, but by a quiet, unwavering spirit of patriotism that helped forge a nation. Discover the forgotten hero and the enduring power of ordinary people in extraordinary times. Approx.146 pages, 27000 word count
