Her ride took place during an event in American History designed by the British commanders to bring an end to the Revolutionary War.On a cold rainy night in the spring of 1777, the British Regular Army, along with some Loyalists, attacked and burned Danbury, Connecticut. That raid was part of Lord William Howe’s plan to end the Revolution. During the raid a messenger was sent to the home of Colonel Henry Ludington asking for help. The Colonel’s sixteen-year old daughter, Sybil, bravely rode forty miles on that cold rainy night throughout the Hudson Valley to call the Militia to action.On her ride Sybil stopped quickly at each home, banged on the doors and windows, and yelled, 'Call to arms! The Regulars and Tories are burning Danbury! The Militia is needed! Call to arms!' Families woke. Men dressed quickly. They grabbed their muskets, and headed into the night to face a powerful enemy.
