"Paul Revere's Ride" by David Hackett Fischer is an excellent book (very 'readable'). He explains why we remember Revere and not Dawes. Dawes did indeed go town-to-town, but Paul Revere knew which people to see in each town. He knew where the doctor lived, or the minister. The men in these professions knew everyone and could easily spread the word. Dawes didn't know the key people in each town. Thus, we remember Paul Revere because his ride was more effective.
