TRUTH !!
On the evening of 18 April 1775, Paul Revere was instructed to ride to
Lexington,
Massachusetts to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were
marching to arrest them, and then ride on to Concord.
Riding a horse that he borrowed from his friend Deacon John Larkin, he
alarmed the countryside, stopping at each house, and reached Lexington at
midnight.
After delivering the message, Revere was joined by William Dawes, who had
been sent on the same errand by a different route. On route to their next
destination, Concord, Massachusetts, where weapons and supplies were hidden,
they were joined by Dr Samuel Prescott.
At 1am, they were arrested by a British patrol, but Prescott and Dawes
managed to
escape and warn Adams and Hancock.
Revere was released without a horse at 2am and returned to Lexington.
Deacon Larkin never got his horse back.........
