The real midnight rider wasn't Paul Revere it was actually 25-year-old mail carrier named Israel Bissel. He rode some 400 miles in 5 days. He alerted local militias that a British Force was marching on Lexington & Concord.

Another rider was a 16-year-old girl named Sibyl Ludington, who rode more than 40 miles in 6 hours and called out any army of patriots to halt a British advance at Danbury, Connecticut. Paul Revere's mission was to warn rebel leader Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British soldiers were on the way to arrest them. Paul Revere never saw the signal and he wasn;t the only midnight rider.

Paul Revere started on the ride, but was stopped by a British patrol before he got to Lexington. Samuel Prescott and William Dawes were also on the ride. It was Dawes that got to Concord. A 100 years after that night Longfellow wrote a poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the start of the country. His poem "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" has been taken as history rather than a loose use of the truth.
