Paul Revere quotes:
-
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!
