Paul Revere did not actually carry any lanterns during his famous ride. He had arranged for a look-out to observe British movements and display one or two lanterns in the tower of Old North Church. One lantern ment the British were advancing by land. Two lanterns ment the British would be crossing the Charles River by boat. Both paths led to Concord, but the attack route would determine defensive strategy. During the evening of April 18, 1775, Revere observed two lanterns in the church tower and began is ride.
