Revere left Boston for Concord, but never finished the ride. He was arrested midway between Lexington and Concord by a British patrol and his horse taken from him. The men who did finish the ride were named Prescott and Dawes. We know of Revere because of Longfellow's poem The Ride of Paul Revere written 100 years after the event. Revere was easy to rhyme other words with so he used the name and bent history a bit. Old history books, then, took the event and the poem and wrote it as fact. Thus, history was changed in the minds of people. This happens all the time in history and is still going on.

Who made the famous ride to alert the colonidt that the British were coming?
William Dawes, Paul Revere, and others.Revere did spread the word, but there were MANY riders that night. He did NOT act alone. As far as "The British are coming..." Doubt it highly!"The role for which he (Revere) is most remembered today was as a night-time messenger before the battles of Lexington and Concord. His famous "Midnight Ride" occurred on the night of April 18/April 19, 1775, when he and William Dawes were instructed by Dr. Joseph Warren to ride from Boston to Lexington to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams of the movements of the British army, which was beginning a march from Boston to Lexington, ostensibly to arrest Hancock and Adams and seize the weapons stores in Concord.Many 20th century historians have criticized that Longfellow's poem overstates the role of Revere in the night's events, often citing the ride of Israel Bissell, who traveled 345 miles compared to Revere's nineteen. Historian Ray Raphael, in his book "Founding Myths", mentions a number of other unsung messengers, such as Samuel Tufts of East Cambridge, Dr. Martin Herrick of Medford, and other messengers who set out from Medford and Charlestown."All of this confusion is from a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
