The whole ride fable comes from a Longfellow poem. This includes the signal.His most important thing is the flier of the Boston Massacre. He drew the event and it was mainly Propaganda made to incite the colonist against the British.Revere was stopped by a British patrol and his horse taken. He never finished the ride, but two men did. They were named Prescott and Dawes. In 1861 Revere came to fame through a poem written by Longfellow on the eve of the civil war. He was trying to write about patriotism and remind people that they were one nation. This poem has been used as history and it isn't.

He was to ride and warn the militia that the British were coming so they could get ready to fight. Here's a little known tid bit for you. Paul Revere got all the credit but a man named Israel Bissel actually rode more miles and covered more territory than Paul Revere did.

I think you are asking about the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere that he wrote in 1861. If so, he left from Boston in the poem.
They came "by sea". The British soldiers' approach to Lexington would be determined by which route they took out of Boston. This why the question "by land or by sea" was so important to the rebels.
He never was in the military. He was a silversmith who lived in Boston and had six children. He didn't even finish the ride he is so famous for and the only reason you know his name is because poet Longfellow wrote a poem called The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere in 1861. He didn't write the poem to tell about Revere but to remind the people in 1861 to be patriotic on the eve of civil war.
