It\\u2019s April 25th. In 1777, a 16-year-old by the name of Sybil Luddington went on a 40-mile nighttime ride to warn Colonial troops and citizens of an impending British invasion.

\\n\\n

Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss why Luddington\\u2019s midnight ride isn\\u2019t nearly as famous as Paul Revere\\u2019s \\u2014 and how we can ever know if the details of her story are actually true.
