When did Paul Revere's Ride occur?

Answer 1

He didn't ride through any town. He left Boston in the early morning of April 19, 1775 and within a few miles he was stopped and arrested by a British patrol. The only reason we think we know the story of his "ride" is because poet Longfellow wrote a poem over 100 years later called the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. Longfellow was trying to remind his fellow citizens of our history just before the civil war began in April 1861. A little known teen named Israel Bissel did make a ride that night and rode over 300 miles warning villages that the "regulars" were out. Another rider was a girl by the name of Sara Luddington who also warned people. I think Longfellow only used Revere because he could rhyme his name with other words. Somehow his account became history and replaced the true history.

Answer 2

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.
