We're comparing the famous ride of Paul Revere to ANOTHER courageous ride this week. At the time of his ride, Paul Revere was a 41-year-old member of the militia. He was able to warn two men of the danger of their impending arrest during his 22-mile ride under a clear, dark sky. Sybil Ludington, a 16-year-old girl with no training, rode almost twice as far, in a dress, in the pouring rain to call the members of her father's militia back to his farm... over 400 men answered her call.
