When was Paul Revere's famous midnight ride?

April 18, 1775. Revere didn't finish the ride and was arrested. Longfellow wrote about it 1861 in his poem trying to get people to remember how this country was established on the eve of civil war. It was not meant to be a history lesson by the poet and because people have used his poem as fact the myth of Paul Revere is taken as history.

Who warned people the British were coming?

Most people think it was Paul Revere, but this is a myth. It was really two men. One named Prescott and the other Dawes. Revere started on the ride to warn the Sons of Liberty in Concord that the British regulars had crossed the Charles River and were heading their way, but mid way he was stopped and arrested by a British patrol. We only think of Revere because of Longfellow who in 1861 on the eve of the civil war wrote a poem called "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere". He was trying to remind people of the history of the United States and I suspect Revere was easier to rhyme than Dawes/ Prescott. So, he did a little juggling of the facts and it became history in some odd way.
