Sybil Ludington's Midnight Ride

48 pp. | Carolrhoda | April, 2000 | Library ISBN 1-57505-211-3 $$21.27 | Paper ISBN 1-57505-456-6 $$5.95
(4) K-3 Carolrhoda On My Own Books series. Illustrated by Ellen Beier. Ludington was only sixteen when, at the request of her father, Colonel Ludington, she rode to alert Connecticut colonists that British soldiers had attacked nearby Danbury. Ludington's daring nighttime ride will intrigue younger readers, while the muted illustrations evoke the colonial period. An author's note with biographical information is included, but no sources are listed.
