PAUL REVERE

The REAL Revere-Longfellow Poem Poetic FICTION by Longfellow Written more than 50 years after the fact

The REAL Revere-not an Alerter No evidence to suggest he awoke a single minuteman. Wasn’t his job to alert militias His mission: Ride to Lexington to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British soldiers were going to arrest them.

The REAL Revere-Signal Lanterns Never saw the signal lanterns at Old North Church—was across town at the time. No matter—watchman gave “two if by sea” signal British troops got in boats and went VERY short distance before getting back onto land.

The REAL Revere-Journey Made it to Lexington and warned Adams and Hancock. Met up with a Rider who suggested they go warn the militia in Concord. Never made it to Concord. Captured by British Troops before they arrived. To save himself from hanging (for treason) he told all and was released the next day.

The REAL Revere
