The British, however, are not the only enemy the Ludingtons' every acquaintance, every neighbor, has the potential to be loyal to the British crown. When British troops raid Danbury, Connecticut, it is up to Sybil to get the word to her father's men. Only two years after Paul Revere's fateful ride, Sybil leaps atop her horse and rides the whole night through, avoiding near brushes with danger and successfully warning the Regiment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSybil Ludington: Revolutionary War Rider\u003c\/i\u003e by Karen Romano Young writing as E.
