No. He never made it as far as Lexington. Just outside Boston he was stopped and arrested by the British. His horse was taken from him. Dawes and Prescott came along. Dawes falls off his horse and it is Prescott that warned Sam Adams in Concord. The only reason we know about Revere because Longfellow wrote a poem in 1861 reminding Americans of the revolution.
