The Midnight Ride
The Paul Revere Mall in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts commemorates one of America's greatest patriots.  On the night of April 18th, 1775, Robert Newman snuck out of his house and past British troops to make his way to the North Church.  Once inside, he hung two lanterns to indicate that the British would be attacking Lexington and Concord by sea - sending their fleet up the Charles River.  Paul Revere was staged in Charlestown, ready for his &quot;Midnight Ride&quot;.  Once the lanterns were visible across the bay, he carefully eluded British troops while crossing the Charles River and then rode his horse from the North End to Lexington to warn of the British troops' descent.
