They saw two lanterns in the steeple of Old North Church.
The code used to inform Paul Revere and William Dawes about the movement of British troops was a system of lantern signals. One lantern hung in the Old North Church to signal if the troops were coming by land, and two lanterns if they were coming by sea. Revere and Dawes were then alerted and rode through the night to warn the militia and people of the impending attack.
actually the laterns were a back up to warn the people in Charleston of the british invasion in case paul revere and William dawes were killed or captured before they could warn the people. as for who was watching for the laterns in the city I do not know.
The Poem is just that---poetry. It is Not Historical.He got some of the main points right, but others he did not.The man who made the ride was named Paul Revere.However, the lamps were hung in Christ's Church. The Old North Church had a hill by it and no one could've seen the light.Paul Revere was on the same shore- not the opposite shore- ready to spread the alarm. However, Longfellow doesn't mention his partner, William Dawes or the other partner (whose name escapes me...)Paul Revere acually failed to finsih his ride, because he was stopped by a British patrol. They took his horse, and let him live.But lets not forget Dawes! Dawes was the one who DID finish the ride and another professor also rode along.. (can't seem to remember his name).Actually William Dawes was stopped by The british aswell...The man who finished the ride was Samuel Prescott.......Who was from Lexington and met up with Dawes and Revere as they headed for Concord...They were all confronted by four British troops Paul Revere was captured and his Horse was taken (He made back to lexington on foot in time to see the end of the battle) while Dawes and Samuel Prescott used the surrounding forest to lose the British,Dawes was later captured But Prescott made it (probably because of his intimate knowledge of the surrounding Woods)....
There were three men along with Paul Revere; William Dawes, Samuel PrescottThe person in the tower was Robert John Nuemon in the Old North Church.Improved Answer: Paul Revere was the only one who got caught by the british patrol. Dr. Samuel Prescott was picked up on his way back from "Courting his lady fair" Aka a date. Rode with Paul from Boston. when Revere was caught by british patrol Dr. Samuel Prescott jumped into the forest and told concord to hide theyre powder, shot, and cannons. Dawes being the big burly guy that he was, fell into the brush trying to copy Prescott. Cheswell rode north to New Hampshire. The Northern people came down and joined the fight as the British were heading back to Boston and continued helping during the Battle of Bunker (Reeds) Hill.

he did so for anybody that's trying to hide from the british No. Paul Revere met at the Old North Church where the decision was made to warn the men in Concord and Lexington. The lanterns were a signal to those outside Boston----and not for Revere. No, Paul Revere's friend hung them. But it wasnt Dawes because him and Revere were together when they notticed they were lit.
