"Don't fire until you can see the whites of their eyes!"
William Dawes and Samuel Prescott are two, not-so-famous people, who took part in The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.
William Prescott was most famous for The Battle Of Bunker(Breeds) Hill. It was the first formal Battle of the American Revolution, it happened shortly after the shots had been fired at Lexington and Concord.

Under General Israel Putman and Col. William Prescott, 15,000 colonists, including 1/3 who were African-Americans, defended Breeds Hill. Two weeks later, General George Washington took command. It was Prescott who made the famous quote "don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes."
