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 from Rev. John Larkin and was named Brown Beauty. Larkin refers to it in his will. 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.

It was actually "the red coats are coming". Americans were still British subjects at the time. "The British are coming" would not have made sense.

Was Paul Revere a patriot?

Yes, he did handbills for the patriot cause and worked with the Son's of Liberty. He only became famous in 1861 when Longfellow used his name in his poem The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. This was taken as history and for many years people have thought that Revere rode through the night yelling "the British are coming." This is not the truth of what happened that night. Yes, he did start for Concord, but was stopped by a British patrol and held. Two other men got to Concord to warn of the British marching from Boston. A young man by the name of Israel Bessel actually rode 300 miles warning of the British marching out of Boston, but we never hear of him.
