Paul’s Life in the War • Just before the Revolutionary war, Paul Revere went on his legendary journey to north church with Robert Newman who helped him put up two lanterns in the church to warn the colonists that the British were on there way. • He put up two lanterns, which meant that the British had come by sea. • He also rode through Lexington yelling,” The regulars are coming out!” While many people say he said,” The British are coming!”he actually said the Regulars were coming out. • One of Paul's best friends, Joseph Warren, a.k.a. Dr. Warren died while fighting on the Battle of Bunker Hill. • On his famous ride, Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride, he was actually captured and was forced to answer the British in asking what he had been doing, while holding with a gun to his head. • Paul Revere did not create George Washington's wooden teeth like most people believe.
