On a stormy April night in 1777, a sixteen-year-old girl climbed onto her horse and set out into the darkness. British troops were advancing, and her father’s militia—spread across miles of countryside—needed to be warned. The future of their town, and perhaps the Revolution itself, depended on her.
This gripping true story brings to life one of the most courageous yet overlooked acts of the American Revolution. Readers will follow the daring midnight ride through rain, fear, and danger as a young woman faced Loyalists, outlaws, and exhaustion to deliver her urgent message: “To arms! The British are burning Danbury!”
More than just a thrilling moment in history, this book explores the world she lived in—where war blurred the boundaries of home and battlefield, and where courage took many forms. It reveals how ordinary families endured extraordinary times, and how acts of bravery—large and small—shaped the birth of a nation.
Told with vivid detail and insight, this is the story of a forgotten hero who stood firm when the world around her was on fire. It’s a reminder that history isn’t only written by famous generals and kings—it’s carried forward by those bold enough to act when it matters most.
