There must have been dozens of 'Paul Reveres', as farmers converged on the British from all quarters and very rapidly that day. It would be impossible to honor them all.

Paul Revere stands out because he belonged to the inner circle of patriots in the Boston area, which was on the leading edge of the move towards independence in general.

Good comment.

And Revere was a major factor in the Sons of Liberty. I believe he was one of the people that rode between Boston and New York in the 1760s.
