The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming. Longfellow wrote his poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the nation's history. Somehow the poem became part of history and was put into history books as fact. Revere never finished the ride, his horse was taken away and he was held by a British patrol, but thanks to Longfellow we all know who he is. He billed Congress for the ride and the cost of the horse since it was taken from him and it didn't belong to him. It was borrowed. His one big contribution was the picture on a flier after the Boston Massacre showing colonist getting shot by the British. This was pure Propaganda and was used to incite discontent between the colonist and the British troops.

Paul Revere first crossed the Charles River by boat to land in Charleston and ride to Lexington, where he could warn citizens that the British were coming. Revere then rode to Concord, warning all citizens along the way.
Who warned people the British were coming?
Most people think it was Paul Revere, but this is a myth. It was really two men. One named Prescott and the other Dawes. Revere started on the ride to warn the Sons of Liberty in Concord that the British regulars had crossed the Charles River and were heading their way, but mid way he was stopped and arrested by a British patrol. We only think of Revere because of Longfellow who in 1861 on the eve of the civil war wrote a poem called "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere". He was trying to remind people of the history of the United States and I suspect Revere was easier to rhyme than Dawes/ Prescott. So, he did a little juggling of the facts and it became history in some odd way.
What did Paul Revere do before the war?
He warned The American army that the British were going to attack, and his dog was the real hero. He ran 26 miles to home with a note Revere wrote to get spurs for his horse so he could get to Lexington (spot of the first battle) and warn the Americans. His wife saw the note and gave the dog the spurs and he ran ALL THE WAY BACK to Lexington. Somehow, Revere and his horse crossed the Charles River without disturbing the British Ship right next to them. Revere then warned the Americans of a British "suprise" attack the Americans and would ruin their chances of winning the war.
