    And William Dawes, Samuel Prescott, and Israel Bissell faded into obscurity as well, any idea why?

      No they didn’t?

      The dawes family is still very powerful.

      Prescott is presumed to have died in prison as a pow.

      Bissell Wasn’t hugely influential after, no but he’s mentioned in most school history books I’ve seen. Ludington just isn’t and that’s ignoring the whole “the British are coming” thing that’s at least portrayed as being factual.

        Idk I’d never heard of any of them except Paul Revere.

        Maybe they were mentioned one time in a class in 5th grade or something but Revere was constantly referenced.

          That’s sorta my point, there were 5 and the most famous is the one that snitched and completed the least amount of a ride.

            Oh I thought your point was one was forgotten because of their gender.

              Yes the least accomplished male is famous the most accomplished female is basically unmentioned. It’s unfair to all of them but more unfair to one specifically.
