History is full of brave men performing heroic deeds. But what aboutwomen? Though their stories are often overlooked, they are no less thrilling: On the night of April 26, 1777, sixteen-year-old Sybil Ludington rode her horse to warn local minutemen that the British were attacking Danbury, Connecticut. Sybil rode all night, covered twice as much ground as Paul Revere, and did not get captured. Betty Zane helped save Fort Henry in the Northwest Territories in 1782 while running to get ammunition for the defenders. Author Zane Grey was her great-great grandson. Susie Taylor was born a slave in 1848. After escaping in 1862, she joined the military.
