Last night was the anniversary of calling out the MA militia to Lexington and Concord. You are probably familiar with Paul Revere's ride -- Longfellow's poem "On the 18th of April in '75, hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous date and year of the midnight ride of Paul Revere." You might even know Billy Dawes. But do you know about Sybil Ludington's similar ride?
