Paul Revere is better known due to the epic poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow whereas Bissell was the subject of the less well known "Ride, Israel, Ride," an epic poem by Marie Rockwood of Stockbridge. Basically, Paul Revere rhymes with a lot more than Israel Bissell, so the poem was easier to craft and more memorable.

What did Paul Revere do other than the midnight ride?

What town did revere set out of on his famous ride?
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. Listen my children And you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.
