  • In the Fall of 1774 & Winter of 1775, I was one of upwards of thirty, chiefly mechanics, who formed ourselves into a committee for the purpose of watching the movements of the British soldiers, and gaining every intelligence of the movements of the Tories.

  • The British are coming. One if by land, two if by sea.

  • In Medford, I awaked the Captain of the Minute Men; & after that, I alarmed almost every house, till I got to Lexington.

  • 1 if by land, 2 if by sea.

  • To arms, to arms! The British are coming, the British are coming!

  • No matter what you do, you'll never run away from you.

  • If the British march By land or sea from the town to-night, Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry-arch Of the North-Church-tower, as a signal-light,-- One if by land, and two if by sea; And I on the opposite shore will be, Ready to ride and spread the alarm Through every Middlesex village and farm, For the country-folk to be up and to arm.

  • There's a time for casting silver; a time for casting cannon. If that isn't in the red, it should be!
