Dicey Langston Detail

During the Revolutionary War, fifteen-year-old Laodicea "Dicey" Langston overheard that a band of Loyalists known as the Bloody Scouts were going to attack the Elder Settlement at Little Eden, South Carolina at dawn. She set out on foot in the middle of the night, crossed a swollen river, nearly drowned, but made it in time to warn her brother James so that he and his men could warn the settlement. When the Bloody Scouts arrived the next day, the Elder Settlement had been evacuated. Source: DiceyLangston.com
