The poem says "On the eighteenth of April in (17) 75, hardly a man is now alive who can remember this famous day and year." Paul Revere was not the only rider. Dr. Samuel Prescott and William Dawes also rode to send the alarm.
The following day after Paul Revere made his famous ride another young man Israel Bissell, a twenty three year old dispatch rider, was sent south to spread the news of the revolution. Source Exert from 'The Greatest Stories Ever Told', by Rick Beyer ISBN 0-06-001401-6 a History Channel Presents production On April 19, 1775, a day after Paul Reveres famous ride, another epic ride has largely been forgotten. Move Over, Paul Revere "Under his spurs, his horse seemed to take wing. Local legend has it that he mad Worcester, a day's ride, in just tow hours, and that his horse dropped dead when he got there. With a new horse, Bissell was off again. Through Connecticut he raced, then to New York on to Philadelphia. Astonishingly, he rode 350 miles in just six days, a record time. Paul Revere, by contrast, rode only twenty miles. but Reveres effort to "spread the alarm to every Middlesex village and farm" were immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Nobody wrote a poem about Israel Bissell, so he wound up one of history's has-beens." In 1995. Massachusetts poet Clay Perry finally gave Bissell a poem of his own. He wrote: Listen my children, to my epistle: Of the long, long ride of Israel Bissell; Who outrode Paul for miles and time; But didn't rate a poet's rhyme
Listen my children and you shall hear, of the midnight ride of Paul Revere Twas the eighteenth of April in Seventy-Five Hardly a man is still alive who remembers that day and time.
I can give you three: The time of day was later, there was a black man that got killed in the battle (never drawn), and there were many less British soldiers.| Hope this helps! |

One of the poetic elements used so effectively by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, in his poem, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere," was his use of fire as a symbol of good, battling the opposite, darkness as bad. The metaphor began in the poem as Paul Revere waiting in the darkness for the signal of light in the church, "one by land, two by sea." When the signal is recognized, during the actual description of the ride, the pounding of the horse's iron shod hoofs on the cobblestones threw out sparks (of liberty) that kindled a nation's revolutionary "fire." And finally in the second to last stanza, Longfellow emphasizes the notion of fire as an element of freedom in the hands of the patriot farmers, "pausing behind every fence and farmyard wall" only to fire and load. And then leads the reader to yearn for light, whether a candle flame, a spark from a horses hoof, or fire from the end of a musket, now all positive images in the poem, with the final last stanza of the poem by not using light once, but its opposite, the word "darkness," twice! And ending with the final line as a "midnight message." The great English writer J.R.R. Tolkien's work, "The Lord of the Rings," uses the play of darkness and light in much the same metaphorical, poetic, effective, and enjoyable fashion.
