When news reached her father, Colonel Henry Ludington, that the British were advancing on Danbury, Connecticut, a call to arms was issued. As darkness enveloped the countryside, Colonel Ludington tasked his 16-year-old daughter with a perilous mission: to ride through the night and alert the American militia.
