        And, of course, the ride of 16-year-old Sybil Ludington took place three years and 8 days later. She rode through New York and Connecticut for 40 miles -- twice as long as Revere -- to warn of the approach of British troops.

        “Her [war widow] pension was denied, claiming insufficient proof of marriage. At age seventy-seven, Ludington died in poverty. “

        Revere had a better publicist than Jack Jouett who rode about 40 miles to warn Thomas Jefferson at @TJMonticello a few years later.pic.twitter.com/v8YSuCzlPY

        A reminder to give credit to Richard Dawes and Samuel Prescott who rode with Paul Revere that night. Revere was actually captured before reaching Concord and never warned that the English were coming. That honor goes to Prescott.

        I had to do a double take. We had a framed print of this painting hanging in our dining room when I was a teenager in the '60s!

        And a pretty good indication that Grant Wood had never actually been to eastern Massachusetts

        Longfellow wrote the poem in 1860. So in the last two stanzas, where he opines that patriots are always ready to answer the call when trouble and war appear on the horizon, what do you think Longfellow meant? Call answered in 1861. Will we answer in 2018?

        There is no other option than doing what needs to be done to save America. I wouldn't last long in a country like Russia.
