Jimmy looked at her and seeing respect what he did. said: "All right. Hut gosh, how I dread it." Then trying to justify himself, he added: "He ought to be home with Angela anyway. She's worth all the rest of you, to-

"Listen, My Children,

hear,

Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere." In these famous words the beloved poet, Longfellow, began his own a<" count of an important and colorful incident in American History. This excellent story-poem is universally known among the school children of the country, hut it seems that the venerable bard allowed his scene of the dramatic to obscure the facts in the case, with the result that a. somewhat ficitious story has been perpetuated in an interesting but inaccurate epic. For, instead of reaching Concord, as Longfellow telates, Paul Revere was captured by the English just outside

of I^exington.

The Division of Information and Publication of the George Washington Bicentennial Commission, apparently as particular with regard to the truth as was the great Father of His Country, has issued a statement in recognition of the one hundred ami ninetysixth hirthflay anniversary, on January 1st, of the “patriot Mercury” which tells the story of Paul Kevetje’s immortal “midight ride.” The year 1775 opened upon a very critical situation in the American Colonies, and even the most hopeful were becoming convinced that an aimed conflict with the mother country was inevitable. British troops were stationed in Roston, which was considered the hot bed of rebellion, but the presence of these soldiers only made worse an alteady hopeless condition. Citizens of Roston vigorously protested England’s action in stationing an army there, and committees were formed to keep a vigilant eye on the Redcoats and all their movements. One purpose of these committees was to prevent the cap ture of John Hancock and Samuel Adams, whom theEnglish regarded as -editionists and who were at that time really the leaders of the Massachusetts resistance to the authority of Parliament. * Paul Revere, a Boston silversmith, whose father was a Huguenot refuge to the colonies, was a member of one of these committees which reported directly to Adams and Hancock. In the early part of April, 1775, the movements of the British troops aroused the suspicions of the patriot vigilantes, who became convinced that the capture of their leaders was intended. Revere had visited Lexington a few days before his memorable ride took place and on his way back tc Boston had stopped in Chailestown tc arrange with a friend the means to be employed in appraising the latter of the movements of the soldiers. Adam? and Hancock were in Lexington ami if their captuie were intended the men had to lie in formed beforehand. On the night of April 18, Dr Joseph Warren learner! that eight hundred troops under Lt Col. Francis Smith were leaving with the double objective of capturing Hancock and Adams and destroying the military stores at Concord which the patriots had beer collecting. The future hero of Bunket Hill immediately dispatched William Dawes for l.exington from which place he was to proceed to Concord. Warrer. then sent for Revere, whom he in strutted to ride to these villages b) another route. The patriot ■•flvprsmith sought out a friend and requested him to place two lantern? in the tower of North Church as. a signal to watchers in Charlestown then proceeded to the Charles Rivei where a boat awaited him. 1 n this craft, with muffled oar-locks, he wa? rowed to the opposite hore, passing under the guns of the British man ol war, Somerset, and avoiding by five minutes the soldiers who had been

sent to detain him.

In Charlestown Revere found that his signals hud been seen, and procuring a horse, he immediately set off for Lexington. He had just passed Charlestown Neck when he saw two mounted British officers whiting under a tree. As these men rode toward him, Revere took flight and succeeded in eluding his would-be raptors aftei one of them had been.raught in a clay pond. In a letter written to a friend sometime later, Revere, describing hi? ride said that from here on he “alarmed almost every House” until he

reached Lexington.

When he arrived at this place the courier iwtroit imle directly to the house of Rev. Jonas Clark, where

FAVORS TO

Paul Revere” was rudely terminated. Prescott alone of the three riders was .hie to reach Concord. Revere was Wot detained by his captors who returned him to Lexington where he was reliever! of his horse. He then assisted Adams and Hancock to a n.oie secluded retreat, after which he probably returned to his lon.e in Boston. Despite the difference between the 'acts in the case and a picture drawn n Longfellow’s immortal poem, Paul tevere remains none the less at patiot hero. Throughout the entire Revo lution he was prominent it. his service to his country. At first he acted as a messenger and made several trips 'ron. Boston to New York and Philadel ihia to carry word to Congress of the situation in Massachusetts. He was >ne of the leaders in the Boston Tea Patty. But his most famous exploit was, of course, his ride to Lexington. A fact (terhaps too little known is hat Revere was "the most remarkjble man to develop American indusUies that the first two hundred years if American history produced." He vas an expert gold hi d silmersmith; to rolled copper for use on the “Contitution”; he was an engraver, a denist, and an iron molder. He manufacureu hells which were among the finxst in the country and over seventy"ivc of these bells are still in use in New England. The copper rolling inlustry he established in Canton, Maslachusetts, in I KOI, is still in existtnce and is conducted today by dir •ct descendants of its founder. W’h en Paul Revere died on May 10, '818, he was eighty-three years old ind enjoyed the respect and esteem of .11 his countrymen. He had served his wintry well and honorably—his life had been long and useful. Today Vn.erica honors his memory in gratiude for his loyalty to the cause of ndependence.
