The woman who alerted the militia that the British were coming was Sybil Ludington. On the night of April 26, 1777, she rode nearly 40 miles on her horse, named Star, to warn American colonial forces of the British approach, earning her recognition as a heroine of the Revolutionary War. Her courageous ride is often compared to Paul Revere's, though she undertook a significantly longer journey.
