  The harrowing tale of a revolutionary era 16-year girl who rode horseback through the dark of night warning of an impending British attack on the town of Danbury, Connecticut and summoning the 7th Regiment of the Dutchess County Militia to assemble near her family home. Sybil Ludington was the daughter of Colonel Henry Ludington, a revered military officer. The story chronicles various historical accounts of her upbringing and later years.

Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Sybil's story.

  GROWING UP IN CAROLINA, Puerto Rico, Roberto Clemente loved to play baseball. He swung a tree branch—since he didn’t have a bat—and hit tin cans. At the age of 19, his passion for the sport paid off when he was tapped for a Major League team. First stop: chilly Montreal, where he warmed the bench and himself, longing to play baseball. Months later, he finally got his chance with the Pittsburgh Pirates where his talent on the field was soon on display. Many fans loved his bold playing style, but not everyone was quick to embrace a Black man from Puerto Rico who spoke español. A man who demanded to be called Roberto, not Bob. 
   
  MLB.com journalist Nathalie Alonso shows the emotional highs and lows of Roberto Clemente’s career as he fought racism—from fans, reporters, and other figures in the sport—to become one of the greatest baseball players of all time.

  Try and Change the Past by Fritz Leiber - There is an infinite number of paths through a lens between an object point and its image point–and no matter how many changes of path you make, have you changed anything? 
  No, I wouldn't advise anyone to try to change the past, at least not his personal past, although changing the general past is my business, my fighting business. You see, I'm a Snake in the Change War. Don't back off-human beings, even Resurrected ones engaged in time-fighting, aren't built for outward wriggling and their poison is mostly psychological. "Snake" is slang for the soldiers on our side, like Hun or Reb or Ghibbelin. In the Change War we're trying to alter the past–and it's tricky, brutal work, believe me–at points all over the cosmos, anywhere and anywhen, so that history will be warped to make our side defeat the Spiders. But that's a much bigger story, the biggest in fact, and I'll leave it occupying several planets of microfilm and two asteroids of coded molecules in the files of the High Command. 
  Change one event in the past and you get a brand new future? Erase the conquests of Alexander by nudging a Neolithic pebble? Extirpate America by pulling up a shoot of Sumerian grain? Brother, that isn't the way it works at all! The space-time continuum's built of stubborn stuff and change is anything but a chain-reaction. Change the past and you start a wave of changes moving futurewards, but it damps out mighty fast. Haven't you ever heard of temporal reluctance, or of the Law of the Conservation of Reality?
