History with LEGO Episode 3 - Paul Revere's Ride

After researching Paul Revere's midnight ride on April 18, 1775, I discovered that the story I heard growing up—you know the one where Paul Revere rides through the streets of Boston courageously shouting, "The British are coming!"—isn't actually true!!! The story originated with poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who lived from 1807 to 1882. A few years after the events of April 18, 1775, Longfellow wrote a poem about Paul Revere's ride... but he stretched the truth a little. First of all, there were two riders. Paul Revere and William Dawes, who rode on a different path than Revere in case one of them got caught. And secondly, Paul Revere never actually said "the British are coming," because the British were already there. Revere's mission wasn't to warn the Minutemen about the British troops; he needed to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock, the founders of the Sons of Liberty, who were in Lexington. Once Revere and Dawes did this, they started for Concord with another rider named Samuel Prescott. But Dawes lost his horse somehow, (no, I didn't make that up), and Revere was captured along the road, leaving Prescott to finish the ride of Paul Revere. Don't take my word for it though. Check out all ten sources of information I found! This is what I love about history, and why I love telling stories with LEGO! Links are below.
