Paul Revere's Ride

Clop, Clop, Clop the pounding of horses’ hooves that was all Paul Revere heard as he rode from Charleston to Menotomy. It is April 18, 1775 and Paul is riding to warn the minutemen and other Patriots that "The British are coming."
It is a cold night in Charleston when Paul Revere talks to his friend Robert Newman. "What are we going to do about the British", says Robert, “and how are we going to warn the Patriots."
"I have an idea", says Paul Revere, "the night you see British coming send me a signal from the Old North Church. One Lantern if they com by land and two if they come by sea."
That night Paul was sitting on the opposite shore of the Old North Church when he seen the signal from the Church. Two lanterns that's what he had to remember. Quickly he jumped on his horse Brown Bess and Rode as fast as he could to warn the patriots.
He rode faster than he could ever remember everything but himself, and Brown Bess was a blur.
"Wake up every one and prepare for battle! The British are coming! The British are coming", Paul hollered as he rode through the first village.
He started to chuckle to himself as he saw the sleepy farmers stumble out of bed and grab guns to prepare for the battle.
"No time for funny thoughts", he said to himself, "this is war. The British are coming! The British are coming."
As he rode up to Menotomy Brown Bess was getting tired he new someone else would have to take the job. When he got there he talked to the patriot leader and said, "The British are coming! You have to prepare for battle I have already warned all the villages and farms to prepare. They are coming by sea. You have to send someone else to warn the other towns."
With that Paul Revere was called the "Messenger of the Revolution", but what you may not have known is that two other people rode that night to warn other towns and villages. They are Dawes who rode from Roxbury to Menotomy and Prescott who rode from Menotomy to Concord.
