Light trails and motion blur! Several boys enjoyed staying up until very late sledding on the hills near Mt. Baker. The boys on the trail up were pointing heir lights on Henri's orange hat.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I don't have to pitch my tent there. That's my spin on Psalm 23:4.

Paul Revere was celebrated after his death for his role as a messenger in the battles of Lexington and Concord, and Revere's name and his "midnight ride" are well-known in the United States as a patriotic symbol.
243 years ago like today, the famous "Midnight ride" took place. It was an act of heroism during the American revolutionary war. British army had set camp in Boston and colonial militia was scattered in various small towns around it. As the British were to attack Lexington and Concord, the Bostonian rebels needed a way to inform Charlestown's militia about their movements. "One if by land, two if by sea" was the signal that Paul Revere (the rider seen on this statue), a local silversmith, used and he hanged two lanterns in North Church's steeple as the British were advancing through Charles river. After sending his message, he rode his horse in the darkness, avoiding British patrols, and alarming all the colonials on his route to Lexington where the majority of the militia was. This became later famous as the "Midnight ride"
Σαν σημερα πριν απο 243 χροια η περιωνυμη "Νυχτερινη πορεια" ελαβε μερος. Προκειται για μια πραξη ηρωισμου κατα τη διαρκεια της Αμερικανικης Επαναστασης. Ο Βρετανικος στρατος ειχε στρατοπεδευσει στη Βοστονη με την πολιτοφυλακη να βρισκεται διασκορπισμενη σε διαφορες μικρες πολεις γυρω της Βοστονης. Καθως οι Βρετανοι ηταν ετοιμοι να επιτεθουν στο Lexington και το Concord, οι επαναστατες της Βοστονης επρεπε να βρουν ενα τροπο να ενημερωσουν την πολιτοφυλακη του Charlestown για τις κινησεις τους. "ενα αν απο ξηρα, δυο αν απο θαλασσα" ηταν το σινιαλο το οποιο ο Paul Revere (ο εφιππος του αγαλματος), ενας ντοπιος χρυσοχοος, χρησιμοποιησε και κρεμασε 2 φαναρια στο καμπαναριο της Βορεινης Εκκλησιας καθως οι Βρετανοι επιβιβαστηκαν στα πλοια και ξεκινησαν την εκστρατεια τους μεσω του ποταμου Charles. Αφου εστειλε το μηνυμα του, καβαλησε το αλογο του μεσα στη νυχτα, αποφευγοντας Βρετανικες περιπολους και ξεσηκωνοντας ολους τους αποικους στο δρομο απο τη Βοστονη προς το Lexington, σε αυτο που εμεινε γνωστο ως η "Νυχτερινη Πορεια"

The actual headstone of Paul Revere - (pictured here) found within the Granary Burial Ground in Boston, Massachusetts - is much more humble than the grave marker next to it that was placed to help the burial site of one of America's greatest patriots stand out. Between 1734 and 1818, Paul Revere accomplished much more than the "Midnight Ride", but Longfellow's poem has stuck with many of us and certainly lured me to the grave of the man who warned of the impending British attack.

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 (steeple seen in the background). 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 "Midnight Ride". 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.

Dawes Island, a traffic island at the intersection of Garden Street and Massachusetts Avenue, commemorates William Dawes' ride through Cambridge on April 18, 1775 alerting colonial minutemen of the approach of British army troops prior to the Battle of Lexington and Concord at the outset of the American Revolution. Dawes's passage through the area is represented by bronze horseshoes embedded in the sidewalk, as hoofprints, accompanied by an inscription giving his name and the inaccurately stated as date of April 19, 1775.
William Dawes, Jr., at the instruction of Doctor Joseph Warren, took the land route through the Boston Neck, leaving just before the military sealed off the town, with the misssion to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams that they were in danger of arrest. He met Paul Revere, who took the shorter route from across the Charles River at Charlestown, at the Hancock-Clarke House in Lexington shortly after midnight and proceeded, along with Samuel Prescott, onto Concord. On the way, they were stopped by a British blockade, and went off in three separate direction. According ot the story he told his children, Dawes rode into the yard of a house where his horse bucked him off and he had to walk back to Lexington. His activities during the Battle of Lexington and Concord remain unknown.
The warning provided by the midnight ride allowed town militias to muster sufficient force for the first open battle of the Revolutionary War and the first colonial victory. The British troops did not find most of the weapons they had marched to destroy and sustained serious losses during their retreat to Boston under guerrilla fire. In 1861, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's fictionalized poem, Paul Revere's Ride, created a national legend--one that focused entirely on Revere as a composite of the different riders that night. As a result, Dawes' contributions have become largely forgotten with time.

One of those buried at King's Chapel is William Dawes, a member of the Sons of Liberty, who rode with Paul Revere on 18 April, 1775 to alert the countryside that the British soldiers were on the march. Like Revere, he was arrested by British troops. A third man, Samuel Prescott, escaped and completed the "midnight ride".

Overview of King’s Chapel Burying Ground: King’s Chapel is Boston’s oldest cemetery established in 1630. You may read more about the cemetery here.
How to find this grave: Enter the graveyard and take the path to the left. Make the 1st right and the Dawes grave will be at the end of your short path.
What you’ll see at the Williams Dawes, Jr. Grave: At the end of this path you should find the grave marker belonging to William Dawes, Jr. While William’s name has fallen into a bit of anonymity, he was just thirty minutes away from being one of the most noted figures in U.S. history. Instead it was Paul Revere, the “other” rider, who was the first to deliver the message to John Hancock and Samuel Adams in Lexington that the British were coming. Both Dawes and Revere were dispatched as messengers with Dawes traveling by land and Revere by sea. Along Dawes route and while he was attempting to warn other groups to gather their arms, he was nearly captured by the British but was able to escape to ultimately arrive at his destination.
After his rather unknown ride, Dawes went on to participate in the Battle of Bunker Hill. As a tradesman Dawes held many jobs in his lifetime including retailer, grocer, and tanner.

The Paul Revere statue in the Paul Revere Mall in Boston's North End. Across the street is St. Stephen's Church, whose bell was cast and hung by Paul Revere.
Revere was also a skilled silversmith, whose work can be seen in Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. But he is most famous today for his "midnight ride" in 1775 to warn the citizens of Lexington and Concord of the approach of British troops. Not because he was successful at it (the British caught him and took away his horse), but because of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poetic (and inaccurate) account of it. Read it here: eserver.org/poetry/paul-revere.html
This statue graces a small park in the North End of Boston and depicts one of the neighborhood's most noted citizens - you can visit his house, which is nearby.
Paul Revere was a noted silversmith and pamphleteer and, of course, revolutionary. He is most famous for his April 20, 1775 "midnight ride" when he rode from Boston to warn his fellow rebels, specifically John Hancock and Samuel Adams, that British troops were coming to seize the gunpowder store at Concord. He rode with fellow revolutionary William Dawes and the 2 men happened to meet Samuel Prescott a Concord man whom Revere knew to be sympathetic to their cause. The group were confronted by British sentries early on and were arrested, but Prescott escaped and he was the one who finished the ride and rallied the local minutemen who fought the British troops and began the revolution.
