Paul Revere rode through the night toward Lexington and Concord. He needed to be careful; regulars (Redcoats) were on the roads that night. The eighteenth of April. After an encounter with the redcoats, he galloped into Lexington. Then he went to the house where John Hancock an Samuel Adams. He warned them. There was another rider also, William Dawes. He galloped in soon after Paul Revere's going inside the house to warn the Patriot leaders.
Two riders. Fas-in-at-ing, right? See, that poem isn't historically accurate!
This will actually be a series of posts, really. So the first post is done. There will be more soone, though.
Signing off, Amigos.
