The story of Paul Revere was written by Longfellow in a poem published in 1861 called the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere and since that time most people think Revere did the ride to Concord. He didn't. He was hired by the Son's of Liberty to do the ride, was arrested by a British patrol between Boston and Lexington. Two men by the names of Prescott and Dawes actually got to Concord to warn the Son's of Liberty meeting there.
