On this day 250 years ago Paul Revere was on horseback carrrying important news to his fellow Patriots. Longfellow wrote a poem about only one of his many rides but Revere was the main rider who carried news from the Boston Committee of Correspondence to other Committees. He rode out of Boston on December 17 to carry news of the Destruction of the Tea to New York and Philadelphia and no doubt towns along the way. He would arrive in New York the next day.
