On April 18, 1775, British troops march out of Boston on a mission to confiscate the American arsenal at Concord and to capture Patriot leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock, known to be hiding at Lexington. As the British departed, Boston Patriots Paul Revere and William Dawes set out on horseback from the city to warn Adams and Hancock and rouse the Minutemen.

Nice little bit of American history that we've since learned didn't go exactly as the way we were taught in school, or the poem.

I read somewhere that Longfellow focused on Revere more than Dawes because he found Revere’s name easier to rhyme! History altered literally due to poetic license!
