Ep. 304 | Constitutional Chats Podcast | Libby McNamee | The Historic 40 Mile Ride of Sybil Ludington

Did you know two years after Paul Revere's famous ride, there was a second ride made by a teenaged woman?  That's right. On April 26, 1777, 16-year old Sybil Ludington rode 40 miles throughout the night to alert and rally American militiamen to participate in a planned attack organized by her father, Col. Henry Ludington,  on British troops near Danbury, Connecticut.  To walk us through this historic event, what led up to it and its aftermath in the American Revolution, we are honored to welcome Libby McNamee.  Libby is a public speaker, lawyer, Army veteran and author on events surrounding the American Revolution.
