Sybil Ludington

In 1777, 16-year-old Sybil left her home in Kent, New York at 9 O'clock at night
in order to sound the alert that the British were invading. She rode 40 miles, avoiding British soldiers, British loyalists, and Skinners.
The commemorative statue seen here can be found in Carmel, NY.
