He didn't ride through any town. He left Boston in the early morning of April 19, 1775 and within a few miles he was stopped and arrested by a British patrol. The only reason we think we know the story of his "ride" is because poet Longfellow wrote a poem over 100 years later called the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. Longfellow was trying to remind his fellow citizens of our history just before the civil war began in April 1861. A little known teen named Israel Bissel did make a ride that night and rode over 300 miles warning villages that the "regulars" were out. Another rider was a girl by the name of Sara Luddington who also warned people. I think Longfellow only used Revere because he could rhyme his name with other words. Somehow his account became history and replaced the true history.

∙ 11y agoA new ride that increased public spending. The 'Bumper Cars' AKA 'The Dodgems' was a huge revolution for American people. With Paul Revere inventing the technology for it to work, along side brother Peter Revere decorating early prototypes, the pair became millionaires in just 5 years of releasing the patents for this ride. 30% of all profits from the sale of this ride around the world today, go to the Revere Trust Fund which aims to provide elderly peoples rides at funfairs, due to ageism complaints regarding the accessibility for such rides.

∙ 11y agoThe whole ride fable comes from a Longfellow poem. This includes the signal.His most important thing is the flier of the Boston Massacre. He drew the event and it was mainly Propaganda made to incite the colonist against the British.Revere was stopped by a British patrol and his horse taken. He never finished the ride, but two men did. They were named Prescott and Dawes. In 1861 Revere came to fame through a poem written by Longfellow on the eve of the civil war. He was trying to write about patriotism and remind people that they were one nation. This poem has been used as history and it isn't.

What did israel bissell do in the Revolutionary War?
The following day after Paul Revere made his famous ride another young man Israel Bissell, a twenty three year old dispatch rider, was sent south to spread the news of the revolution. Source Exert from 'The Greatest Stories Ever Told', by Rick Beyer ISBN 0-06-001401-6 a History Channel Presents production On April 19, 1775, a day after Paul Reveres famous ride, another epic ride has largely been forgotten. Move Over, Paul Revere "Under his spurs, his horse seemed to take wing. Local legend has it that he mad Worcester, a day's ride, in just tow hours, and that his horse dropped dead when he got there. With a new horse, Bissell was off again. Through Connecticut he raced, then to New York on to Philadelphia. Astonishingly, he rode 350 miles in just six days, a record time. Paul Revere, by contrast, rode only twenty miles. but Reveres effort to "spread the alarm to every Middlesex village and farm" were immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Nobody wrote a poem about Israel Bissell, so he wound up one of history's has-beens." In 1995. Massachusetts poet Clay Perry finally gave Bissell a poem of his own. He wrote: Listen my children, to my epistle: Of the long, long ride of Israel Bissell; Who outrode Paul for miles and time; But didn't rate a poet's rhyme
