Nein, ich meine, der primäre Grund für die Reise ist, dass die Intelligenz, die von Joseph Warren erhoben wird, dass die Mission, die vorhanden ist, zweifelig ist. Und einer ist, dass die britische Armee das Wort bekommen hat, dass John Hancock und Samuel Adams in Lexington verstecken sind. Und so werden sie, Teil des Plans war es, sie zu besiegen.
And then the other part was to seize this large store of gunpowder that was supposedly in Concord. So it's this sort of two-fold mission.
It's the tallest in the city.
Ich meine, Warren war ein prominenter WIG in Boston, ein guter, bekanntes Mann in der Gemeinschaft und wirklich einer der wichtigen Leiter des WIG-Movements in Boston. Und Warren ist der Kerl, der viele der Informationen, die in der Stadt von Revere und seinen Mechanikern und anderen gesammelt wurden,
He's the one who would typically get that kind of information and pass it along to the committees. But in the case of April 18th is that Warren gets information about the impending mission by the British and exactly what it's about. Und es war lange eine Frage, wer dieser Informant war, der ihm diese Informationen gegeben hat.
Und es scheint, dass es eine echte circumstantielle Beweise ist, dass es General Gage's Frau war, die die Informationen über die abhängigen Missionen passierte. Sie war ein amerikanischer Kolonist. Sie war von New Brunswick, New Jersey. Sie haben sich in den späten 1750ern getreut, als er in den In the colonies for the seven years war.
She came from a really prominent family in New Jersey with ties to all of the most elite landowning families in New York. And she had a real sympathy for her fellow colonists, you know. And he noted that she would often had a lot of sort of high talk about the liberty of her, what she called her fellow countrymen.
Und ein Teil der circumstantiellen Beweise ist wirklich, dass, ich meine, wir haben Beweise von einigen britischen Offizieren, die sie stark befürchtet haben, die sie die ganze Zeit befürchtet haben, aber die sie stark befürchtet haben, dass sie die Informationen über die Mission passen.
Und dann kommt es heraus, dass ein paar Tage nachdem das ganze Ganze vorbei war, hat er sie auf einem Schiff zurück nach England gelegt. Er hat für etwa ein Jahr geblieben. Und dann sind die Berichte, dass sie sich verleugnet sind. During that time.
Ja, er ist der andere Reiter. Wenn wir uns über die Bedeutung von Dawes im Hinterkopf denken, was er gemacht hat, war nicht wirklich so bedeutend, wie das, was Revere machte, weil es scheint, dass er nicht so gut und alarmistisch war, wie Paul Revere war. Und das Teil davon ist, dass Revere sehr praktisch war.
So as Revere is riding through the countryside, you know, he's going to the homes that he knows of, you know, local leaders in those communities and sort of using these sort of local institutions to then spread the word. Whereas Dawes was not as informed or necessarily as diligent about that kind of thing. And so most of the alarm that is spread between the two of them really comes from Revere.
I mean, he's warning people that the regulars are coming, right? The regulars is the term for the British army proper. That's the term that they used for that. And so, if he was saying anything, he's saying, you know, the regulars are coming, the regulars are on the march, you know, the... But he doesn't complete the ride, does he? No. No, I mean, he has some dicey moments on the ride.
At one point, he gets caught by a mounted patrol. So a gauge sends out this mounted patrol of about 20 riders, whose job it was to basically keep a lookout ahead of the march and to cut off any riders. I mean, Paul Revere was well known to the British. zu der britischen Führung. Aber auch britische Soldaten wussten seinen Namen. Das ist, wie prominent er in der lokalen Revolutionär-Movement war.
Und sie wussten gut, dass er der war, der zu Portsmouth fuhr, vor dem Alarm da. Also war er gut bekannt. Also sind diese Mounted Riders sehr viel auf der Suche nach ihm. Ja. So after that, Revere ends up meeting up with Dawes, who makes his way to Lexington. Yes. And they, along with a local rider that they met up with named Samuel Prescott, are picked up by this mounted patrol.
And, you know, when they, this is sort of like right outside of Lincoln. And when they're picked up and the mounted patrol asks him, you know, what is your name? He just tells them. Paul Revere, he's not trying to hide it. And they're kind of taken aback. One, that they have the Paul Revere, but also that he would be so bold as to just reveal himself.
But they asked him what he was doing and he told them. It gets intense. They hold a pistol to his head. Ja, ja. Und er sagt ihnen, das Interessante daran ist, dass die Mounted Riders und sicherlich die meisten der Regulären, die auf dem Marsch nach Lexington und Concord endeten, wirklich keine Ahnung hatten, was die echte Mission war. Ja. Gage was, you know, sort of big on secrecy in that way.
And so only a few officers really knew. The soldiers on the march to Lexington weren't told what the objective was until they were a few miles outside of Lexington and were already hearing gunfire. But so these mounted men did not really know the full extent of the mission and Revere is sort of relating to them in telling them what he's doing.
He's relating to them the mission and they're getting unnerved by the fact that he knows more about the mission than they do. Right. It's a really unnerving moment for them. They end up letting him go. Yeah, they carry him back towards Lexington.
And then as the alarms are going off all around them and they can see on the hillsides that militiamen are mustering, they decide that they're not going to be slowed down because they need to ride back to the actual column and warn them. And so they basically just cut his saddle and his reins and took his horse. So he was basically out of commission.
Ja, und Szenen über die amerikanische Geschichte. Longfellows Familie ging zurück zur Revolution. Sein Großvater war Kapitän in der Kontinentalen Armee und hatte tatsächlich in einem Unit in einer Strecke angeboten. Das ist Peleg Wadsworth. Und dann servierte er schließlich im Kongress in den 1790ern. Also seine Familiengeschichte.
