Revere rode from Boston, Mass to go to Lexington and Concord. He never finished the ride. Out side of Lexington he was arrested and his horse taken from him. Dawes and Prescott finished the ride. We only know about him because Longfellow in his poem wrote about the "midnight ride of Paul Revere."
Paul Revere and William Dawes rode from Boston to warn the Patriots by different routes. They got to Lexington and warned John Hancock. They were joined by Dr. Prescott as they traveled from Lexington to Concord. The British captured Revere and Dawes but Prescott evaded capture. Dawes being a physician, was able to talk the British out of taking his horse. Revere finally broke free of the British and went back on foot to help Sam Adams and John Hancock. Prescott reached Concord by 1:30 AM and warned the town.
