It’s a great fable, but Paul Revere was captured early on and held as a prisoner and didn’t make the ride he is credited for. Another guy did however, I forget his name.

You are half right. He was captured early on...and the most famous horse in American history was taken by the Red Coats and never seen again. But Revere managed to escape and hid out in Lexington. As to other riders....there were a multitude of them going in many different direction to alert the people...even one woman legion has it....but he got the most credit mainly due to this poem.
