Susanna Bolling - Revolutionary War hero with Libby McNamee - S2E1

  • Summary

  • In May 1781, 16-year-old Susanna Bolling from Virginia canoed and rode horseback for 10 miles through the dark of night to warn General Marquis de Lafayette of a plan to capture and kill him, Governor Thomas Jefferson, and Commander-in-Chief George Washington. Without her heroism—which is completely missing from our history books—the war likely would not have gone in the Americans' favor. Join Elissa and Libby McNamee, author of Susanna's Midnight Ride: The Girl Who Won the American Revolution, for a conversation about this brave patriot.
