British forces were quartered in the
city. But the citizens We're in secret
assemblies making adequate prepara-
tions to defend their rights. Their
resistance was inspired and directed
by Samuel Adams and John Hancock.
committee of public safety began to
collect powder and military stores,
which were concealed in Concord and
its environs. All of which could be
translated to mean that a state of
rebellion existed in Massachusetts,
since no declaration of war had been
made, and such a condition calls for
immediate action on the part OF the
government in control, if it is to re-
tain it's power over the resisting
forces.
While the redcoats under Gen.
Gage were stationed in Boston more
than one secret society exercised sur
Veillance over their movements, not
the least of which was the organiZa
ton made up of mechanics who styled
themselves the Sons of Liberty"
These patriots, in groups of two, took
turns in patrolling the streets of Bos-
ton all night, and they reported to
the committee of public safety any
thing seen or heard that smacked of
danger to the colonists.
Paul Revere, one of the most ac-
tive of the "Sons of Liberty" was
the son of a goldsmith of French eX-
traction who had settled in Boston.
After a little schooling, it was found
that he was as capable of drawing
and designing patterns for tankards,
pitchers, ewers, spoons and mugs as
he was of making them, and he be-
came, like his father, a smith in gold
and silver.
After the completion of an order,
it was the custom of Paul Revere to
place the silver articles in his saddle
bags and to deliver to the customer
what his hands had so skillfully
fashioned. Through this practice he
became familiar with the roads lead
ing out of Boston and at the same
time learned the art of being long
in the saddle with the least fatigue.
II was but natural, therefore, that
when the committee of public safety
needed a trusted man and a skilled
express for carrying messages to
colonists outside of Boston, they
should call upon Paul Revere to do
their bidding.
That his services were cause for
favorable commendation appears in
the following letter written by DR..
Thomas Young, u prominent Son Of,
Evening star., 1925-04-19

The last ride but one that Paul
Revere made before the one 50
famed in song was to Portsmouth,
y. H., to warn the provinCialS
there that the British were plan
ming to strengthen Fort William and
Mary by reinforcements. to prevent
its capture by the patriots. The
British had forbidden any further i'm
purtation of gunpowder and military
supplies on the part of the colonists.
and. as events proved. the provincials
were all too scantily supplied with
those essentials if war was to be re-
sorted to.
This ride to Portsmouth was in i'm
portance certainly not less than was
the ride to Lexington, if the results
are carefully weighed; for the alarmed
citizens raided the fort, put the cap
tain and men under confinement,
broke open the gunpowder magazine
and carried off about 100 barrels of
gunpowder. but discharged the cap
tain and men from their confinement
before their departure.
1t was this powder that was hidden
under the pulpit of Durham meeting
house and, later by six months. fur
niShed to the brave defenders at
Bunker Hill TO save their efforts from
complete disaster.
1t was certainly an act of military
aggression on the part of the provin-
stores from Fort William and. Mary,
yet subsequent events seemed to JUS
tify the act.
1t was New England thrift and fore
sight that secured from the British
what the law forbade them to buy in
the open market. Whether the col
onists had determined at this early
date to resort to war to settle their
quarrel with the mother country no
one will ever be able to say. for while
defying her laws openly, they main
tained that they wished to remain
under the crown of England. Their
acts constantly belied their words.
until Thomas Paine in January, 1916,
through his Common Sense" crys-
tallfzed the thinking of the colonists
by revealing to them how inconsist-
ent were protestation of loyalty in
the face of aggreSSionS against the
law and the property of the crown.
Bishop Asbury, who as an itinerant
minister moved from one colony to
another during this troubled time. was
of the opinion that one-third of the
provincials wanted separation from
the mother country, another third
wished to remain loyal to the gov
ernment in England. and that the
other third was Indifferent. Events
tended to prove him right, for. during
and after the war. about $4,000 loyal
lists migrated into Canada and never
returned to the States, and during
the hostilities many who lived in
places remote from the activities of
the scenes of the war were compla
Gently Indifferent to the struggle.
However, men like Paul Revere
Hta not in, tIo+ y
many others, was vigilant at all
times in the service of the country,
in spite of the fact that he was later
charged with cowardice and court
martialed, apparently unjustly, for he
was finally eXonerated of all blame.

There was once, l know. a concern

completed his famous mid
IL night ride. reaching LeXing-
ton on the. 10th of April
in 1915. That event is familiar to
every school child through his reading
of the ballad in which Longfellow has
immortaliZed this fearless patriot.
Strange as il may seem to the un-
initiated, the poet paid but slight at
tention to the facts in the case, pre-
ferring the wider fields of the imagi.
nation, as poets are wont to do. We
have. however, the riders own ac-
count of this particular page in his
tory. and we shall. in the course of
this narrative, let Paul Revere speak
for himself in order that error may be
q corrected and the glory shared with
William Dawes, his friend and asso-
Ciate.
AS a people. we were sprung full
grown from the head of Zeus Our
early history need not be olyscured
in the miStS of legend and tradition
as 4 consequence, if we will but let
the scientific historian have his way
with the original documents that
record the actual details OF our CO.
lonial history. To any one familiar
with the situation at present, how
ever, it is increasingly evident that
vital matter. While exact historians
are striving to place in the school
rooms text books free from state
mentS conceived in the spirit of chau-
Nlnlsm. some persons are insisting
upon the retention of such represen-
tauons in the name Americauization.
1t would be Impossible TO under
stand the whole story of Paul Re
we're without a clear conception of the
situation that existed in Massachu-
SettS prior to the outbreak of the
Revolutionary War. 1t has long been
maintained that all irritations of that
disturbed period issued from the
mother country. but the facts COM
pei the admission that the colonies
were subject to trade laws exercised
by all home governments over distant
possessions for the realization of the
purpose of their establishment. which
was and ever will be the securing of
profit by the colonizing nation.
Those trade restrictions seemed to
the colonials unjust. and their rec
ords show, in the case of the Bay
State, that those same laws were
skillfully evaded by means of SNUG
Cling, often to the extent of 90 per
cent of all goods brought into Massa-
chusettS. This was not an unknown
fact TO the home government: ii was
handled leniently or severely, depend
ing upon the caliber of the minister
that directed that government.
