in September 1782 when Indians and British soldiers attacked Fort Henry, Virginia the gunpowder ran low in the fort. her brother's cabin was near by she volunteered to run to the cabin and get the gunpowder stored there. several other volunteered too but she argued that she knew where the gunpowder was stored. so when she went out of the fort the Indians and British soldiers were to shocked to fire at her. when she reached the cabin she grabbed the gunpowder and put it in her apron and ran back as fast as she could to the fort. the siege lasted another day and thanks to her the settlers didn't run out of gunpowder. the attacker eventually gave up and fled
