He didn't see anything. He never made it.The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming. Longfellow wrote his poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the nation's history. Somehow the poem became part of history and was put into history books as fact. Revere never finished the ride, his horse was taken away and he was held by a British patrol, but thanks to Longfellow we all know who he is. He billed Congress for the ride and the cost of the horse since it was taken from him and it didn't belong to him. It was borrowed from Rev. John Larkin and was named Brown Beauty. Larkin refers to it in his will. His one big contribution was the picture on a flier after the Boston Massacre showing colonist getting shot by the British. This was pure Propaganda and was used to incite discontent between the colonist and the British troops.
Answer Folklore says that Paul Revere waited to see 1 or 2 lanterns in the steeple of the Old North Church that would signal if how the British were going to march. This is based on the poem, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere". However this poem is full of un-truths. Paul Revere attended the meeting at the Old North Church where the decision was made to warn the surrounding country side and espeically the towns of Lexington and Concord. The signal of 2 lanterns were displayed in the steeple but not for Paul Revere---instead it was to inform other rebel in the area.
This medal, as well as others for other years from 1972 to 1976, were minted by the U.S. Mint For more details, see : http://www.workingmancoins.com/ForSale/BicMed.htm
Legend says it was a lantern in the steeple of the Old North Church. According to the Paul Revere Heritage Project, this signal was a backup plan designed by Revere himself but which in the end he didn't need.

As far as I know, Paul Revere never wrote any books. (He was mainly known for being a very successful silversmith, and you can see some of his work at historical museums like Boston's Museum of Fine Arts.) Revere did, however, write letters, and some of them have survived. You can see several of his hand-written letters digitized via the Massachusetts Historical Society. But if you are asking if there are books about Paul Revere, undoubtedly there are. A good resource for accurate historical information about Paul Revere's life is Boston's Paul Revere House Museum.

Paul Revere thought it was wrong the British were trying to boss them around so he created the Sons Of Liberty to see if others would stand up too.

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)....
