250th Anniversary of Paul Revere's Ride Silver Round

My countrymen and women know about Paul Revere, and the importance of what he did for America (although some are absolutely clueless).

On the night of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere, a silversmith from Boston, rode his horse throughout the countryside to warn people that British soldiers were coming. His ride helped start a series of events that led to the American Revolution and is remembered as one of the bravest moves in American history.

One night. One ride. A warning that changed history.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882) told about Paul Revere's Ride, adding a few embellishments, sure... but the heart of it stayed true.

Paul Revere was part of a network of patriots who planned signals and routes in advance. That night, he arranged for two lanterns to shine from the Old North Church steeple, one if the British came by land, two if by sea. Two lamps indicated that the British were crossing the river.

Paul Revere quietly rowed across the Charles River, then mounted his horse and galloped through towns like Charlestown, Medford, and Arlington, waking up people and alerting local militias. He was not alone. William Dawes and Dr Samuel Prescott also helped him. Although Revere was eventually stopped by British soldiers, Prescott escaped and reached Concord, finishing the mission.
