"Out started six officials, seized my bridle, put their pistols to my breasts, bought me to dismount, that i did. One of these, who appeared to have the command line there, and far of an gentleman, asked me where I originated from; I advised him. He asked what time I left . I advised him, he looked shocked, said 'Sir, can i crave your name?' I solved 'My name is Revere.'" (Paul Revere) Apr 19, 1775, was one of the very most momentous times in American record. Over the course of nearly 18 time, a day that started out with midnight riders spreading an alarm about a British raid headed for Concord would lead to the British column fleeing for their lives. By the time the sun transpired, 10 years of strife between the 13 colonies and THE UK finally boiled over into revolution. In the wake of the revolution, the importance of Apr 19, 1775, became clear to everyone, and the legends and mystique bordering that day have grown ever since. That day made an icon out of Paul Revere, who would have been greatly shocked at the end of his life if he previously known he'd become famous for his midnight drive. As a fervent and well-connected patriot who was part of Boston's intelligence network, Revere was delivered on the drive toward Lexington along with William Dawes, with the goal of warning the countryside that British troops were heading that way.
