Dicey Langston

Dicey Langston — born May 14, 1766 in the Ninety Six District, SC; died May 1837 in Greenville County, SC. 🇺🇸At 15, she learned “Bloody Bill” Cunningham’s raiders planned to attack her brother’s Patriot camp at Little Eden. She walked miles through the night and waded the swollen Tyger River to warn them. Another night she threw herself between Loyalist guns and her disabled father — and when they demanded Patriot secrets at gunpoint, she answered: “Shoot me if you dare. I will not tell you.” Fifteen years old. Unbreakable.#America250 #WomenOfTheRevolution #RevolutionaryWar #SCHistory #CarolinaAfterDeadline
