SUMMARY:Meet the Author: Libby McNamee\, author of Susanna's Midnight Ride
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all heard of Paul Revere\, but have you heard of 
 Susanna Bolling?  Susanna’s Midnight Ride is a historical novel for young 
 people based on the true story of a 16-year-old girl from Virginia who 
 saved French General Lafayette from capture\, paving the way for the  
 decisive Battle of Yorktown.  Join author Libby McNamee to ride along with 
 Susanna as she makes history.\n\nAlmost five years after the signing of the 
 Declaration of Independence\, the American Revolution hung in the balance. 
 In late May 1781\, General Cornwallis invaded City Point\, VA\, and 
 quartered his army there. As 16-year-old Susanna Bolling served the British 
 general and his officers dinner\, she overheard their plans to capture 
 General Lafayette and crush the American rebellion once and for all. Under 
 the cover of darkness\, she snuck out of her house through a secret 
 underground tunnel and canoed downriver. Then she grabbed a neighbor’s 
 horse and rode ten miles to warn Lafayette. But would she make it back home 
 by sunrise without detection?\n\nPresented in partnership with Historic 
 Smithfield.  A Montgomery County 250 and Virginia 250 Event.\n\n\n
