This is a fable. The story of Revere actually comes from 1860's with a poem by Longfellow called The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. His purpose was to remind his fellow Americans of their history. The true story is that Revere did begin his ride but was stopped outside of Boston by a British patrol and his horse taken from him. Two men he knew came along and finished the 15 miles to Concord. There was another person on the road that night named Israel Bissell as 17 year old who road 300 miles and killed one horse riding so hard, but we never hear about this brave young man.
