She rode 40 miles through a night and a day to alert hundreds of Colonial militiamen that the British were coming

She was 16 years old!
Never heard of her until I saw an episode of Drunk History.
Who says booze kills brain cells.
Always learning.
Yeah shes a local hero in the Hudson Valley region of New York...statues, reenactments...
Brave kid!
She was.
At least somebody is recognizing her for her accomplishments.
And on behalf of the entire MC community i salute you sir!
There was also that dumb kid that fell down a well...honorable mention perhaps..?
Maybe.
Don't go getting all sappy on me though.
Hard to give honorable mention to somebody who can't watch where they're going.
If that's the case they should give me an award.
