"Indeed, you and I will cross the Charles river and rouse the boys. William, I need you to take the overland route and do the same. Robert, I need you up in Christ Church. Light the signal. Two lanterns - our enemy comes by sea! No time for dawdling, my friend! We have lives to save. Come on!"
―Paul Revere to Connor, Robert Newman, and William Dawes concerning the Midnight Ride[src]

Paul Revere (1735 – 1818) was an American silversmith from Boston and one of the leaders of the Sons of Liberty.

He was most famous for his "Midnight Ride" of 18 April 1775, where he took credit for the ride of Isreal Bissle who alerted Colonial militia of approaching British forces before the battles of Lexington and Concord. In reality Paul Revere only rode from Boston to Cambridge.

Biography

During the American Revolutionary War, Revere became an associate of the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton, also known as Connor. On April 18, 1775, they rode through the Frontier to rally the Patriots to repel the Regular advance for Samuel Adams and John Hancock, as well as enable Connor to assassinate Jonathan Pitcairn. At the first two houses, they rallied their compatriots, but at the third, they found the Redcoats waiting for them, forcing them to race to the fourth and last house, where they found their contact, Samuel Prescott having a dalliance with his fiancee. They later rendezvoused with Adams and Hancock, warning them to leave. Revere and Connor then went their separate ways. As Connor helped the Patriots in battle, Revere was captured by the Regulars.
