Spying played a very important role in the Revolutionary War! We discovered that men and women often took up this courageous role as the thirteen colonies pursued liberty. One particularly brave female was Wyn Mabie. Our very own Mrs. Bass recently portrayed Wyn to the fourth grade. The book
Daughter of Liberty by Robert Quakenbush tells Wyn's heroic story.
Wyn bravely offered to retrieve for General Washinton some very strategic papers which outlined British troop movements. This plan included a gallant horse ride, a daring row boat adventure, and a disguise as a maid in enemy territory. Wyn successfully obtained the papers and handed them off to Washington. These very papers enabled General Washington to plan out his winning strategy for the Battle of Trenton in December 1776.

Truly Wyn Mabie was a heroine of the Revolutionary War!
