Nice reminder, but to pick a nit they weren't warning residents of
Boston. They rode from Boston and warned people to help in Lexington
and Concord.

To pick another nit, Revere didn't -ride- from Boston at all.

He was rowed across the Charles River from Boston and his ride actually
commenced in Charlestown.

Dawes however took the long way around and actually began in Boston.

peace and justice,
