USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Samuel Prescott was a physician who lived in Concord, Massachusetts. In the early hours of April 19, 1775, he joined Paul Revere and William Dawes to warn people the British were marching to Concord. Prescott is the only one of the three who actually made it to Concord.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both men managed to deliver the warning to Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington. They set off together for Concord, but were stopped by a British army patrol. Revere was arrested. Dawes staged a ruse and escaped.

Detailed explanation-3: -To warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams, who were across the Charles River in Lexington, Warren dispatched two riders, Paul Revere and William Dawes. Revere took the shorter route “by sea, ” while Dawes went “by land” over the isthmus from Boston to Roxbury, then crossing the Charles River over a bridge in Cambridge.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dawes set off around 9 p.m., about an hour before Warren dispatched Revere on his mission. Within minutes, he was at the British guardhouse on Boston Neck, which was on high alert. According to some accounts, Dawes eluded the guards by slipping through with some British soldiers or attaching himself to another party.
