The ride went like this, according to The Paul Revere House: Revere was asked by patriot Joseph Warren to take news to Lexington that British troops were on the march. A more accurate title would have been “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott.” As the poem which immortalized Paul Revere tells it, there was nobody on his midnight ride but him and his horse.īut there are a few things Henry Wadsworth Longfellow glossed over: namely that Revere wasn’t alone on his famous ride, when he warned American patriots that British troops were on the move, this night in 1776.
