Paul Revere Capture

This picture of Paul Reveres capture site was taken along the Battle Road between Lexington and Concord in Minute Man National Park, Massachusetts.  It was at this point at 1:30 in the morning of April 19, 1775 that Paul Revere was captured by the British as he and two comrades were alerting residences between Lexington and Concord that the British were coming, thus ending the midnight ride of Paul Revere.  Paul Revere was later released, however.  William Dawes and Dr.Samuel Prescott, his two comrades, avoided capture, however, and completed their task.
