“There were also two other riders.”
William Dawes and Samuel Prescott were the riders that made it to Acton and Concord. It was Prescott who alerted the Acton Minutemen...Abner Hosmer, of the Acton Minutemen, was the first casualty of the battle of the bridge in Concord...I used to march this route every Patriot’s Day (yes, in MA it is still a holiday) and lived in Concord and Acton. I wish it were celebrated more. Revere was captured in Lincoln and Dawes made it to Concord after escaping a British patrol. He never made it to Concord, but it was an epic poem.
It’s an exciting story.

I look back at this and I am in awe. Meanwhile you have filth like Clinton smearing people at Tea Parties. The Tea Party ideals are what founded this country. All clinton cares about is raking in cash from offshore tyrants, sheiks and criminals. Thank God there was not TV 235 years ago. The idiots would be watching ball games. They would be watching the "Patriots" . With the exception of the bright spot of Scott Brown's election, the region watches the "Patriots" but has no freaking clue. Sickening.
