Many people are familiar with the legendary ride of Paul Revere. During the American Revolution, he galloped on horseback through the night to notify American colonists that British soldiers were approaching. He became famous for his cry, "The British are coming!" There were also lesser-known heroes during the American Revolution who performed equally brave acts in the struggle for freedom. History now honors the courageous Sybil Ludington as a hero. She was the daughter of Colonel Henry Ludington. He led the 7th Regiment, a group of volunteer soldiers who lived in the area around Fredericksburg, New York.

On April 26, 1777, about 2,000 British soldiers arrived in Danbury, Connecticut. They destroyed buildings, food, clothing, and other supplies. A rider headed to New York to inform the American colonial troops, and after receiving the message, Colonel Ludington began needed preparations.

Meanwhile, 16-year-old Sybil set out on horseback to notify the colonial troops. She rode for 40 miles through pitch-dark night and rain, more than twice the distance that Paul Revere rode. She carefully avoided British soldiers and colonists still loyal to the British king. At great risk, she rode for hours to the houses of each volunteer colonial soldier. She successfully rallied the 7th Regiment troops together. Under her father's leadership, the 7th Regiment marched on Danbury to meet the British.

"Five thousand! That's about how many advertisements you are exposed to in one day if you live in a metropolitan area.
Researchers' estimates of the actual number vary from three hundred to six thousand, but everyone knows that ads are
everywhere. Advertising goes down the street with us; it's on trains, planes, and buses. It shouts at us at sporting events from
the banners on display and the electronic scoreboards. Advertising takes the form of brand names and logos on our clothing
and accessories. You can't even turn on the television or check out your favorite website without watching an advertisement. At
every point, advertising shouts, whispers, or cajoles us to 'Look at me! Buy me!' But how exactly do advertisements do it? As it
turns out, just a few formats characterize the majority of ads."
