The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere

The evening of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere and William Dawes began a long ride through the countryside, telling every house along the way “the Regulars are coming out!” Amazingly, before the British were on the march, towns 25 miles away were aware of the pending action.
Tom Hand, creator and publisher of Americana Corner, explores Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride, and why it still matters today.
