They did get credit for it andat the time of the ride Revere was not well known for it, but later on a man named Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote a poem that illustrated the triumph actions that Revere took on his ride. Although parts of this poem were inaccurate it was that very catchy poem that transformed this little known figure in America history to a gigantic symbol of patriosm.

Paul Revere is the best known. However, on his ride to alert the Minutemen on the morning of April 19, 1775, he was accompanied by William Dawes and by Dr. Samuel Prescott, who they encountered on the way. Revere was captured by British soldiers but was released as the general alarm was given.
