Paul Revere info from 'Give Me Liberty!' book

"They threatened to blow my brains out." Paul Revere was captured by three redcoats in the middle of his ride. William Dawes and Dr. Samuel Prescott got away and carried on. Revere was released but only after talking himself out of trouble. His horse was taken so he had to walk to Lexington on foot.
