her ride and from a fight with a thief who tried
to rob her. She returned home drenched to
the skin, but she was successful in alerting the
four hundred men of her father’s command.

Sybil’s courage was admired by many
people. These included her father’s men,
her neighbors, and her father’s commander,
General George Washington. And don’t
forget, Sybil was just a teenager!
