April 18, 1775. Revere didn't finish the ride and was arrested. Longfellow wrote about it 1861 in his poem trying to get people to remember how this country was established on the eve of civil war. It was not meant to be a history lesson by the poet and because people have used his poem as fact the myth of Paul Revere is taken as history.
