Paul Revere: US History Myth

I decided on using Paul Revere as my U.S history myth topic as he was one of the main figure heads you learn about growing up. Some common myths about Paul Revere that we all may have believed growing up may have been Paul Revere riding alone to warn other about the British. Revere was actually accompanied by two others on his ride Williams Dawes and Samuel Prescott. This is because Paul Revere was a better known character among the public from his job as a silversmith, causing to make a better connections among the community. Another myth commonly assumed is Paul Revere on horseback shouting “The British are coming!” At the time he was on what was considered a secret mission where he would need to avoid British patrols.
