Hardly a man is now alive
that remembers that date and year
of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.
best wishes
Listen my children and you will hear,
Of the midnight ride of a keg of beer.
Down the alley and over the fence,
And into the bellies of a couple of gents.
I was driving around there during a business trip and got lost in the 1980’s. I believe they remove all the road signs to confound the British.
People didn't travel much. There weren't that many roads, either. And the names of the country roads were usually the name of the town they went to. If there weren't any unexpected forks you sort of knew how to get where you wanted to go.
they used GPS.
Forget Paul Revere. Check out 16 year old Sybil Luddington. What that young lady did was nothing short of amazing.
