All ports were closed!
The entire city was on lock-down in the wake of their little 'Tea Party".
Everyone knew that those red coated bastards were coming, They just didn't know how or when. As the silversmith stared at the Old North Church's steeple, he saw the glow of two lanterns.... He saddled his horse!!

One lantern if by land, two if by sea. Great glimpse into history's pages, G-man.
My 55 is A Long Journey
Very patriotic and holiday-appropriate, G-Man!
Here's mine: Horsing Around
Although, in fact, there were about 60 riders doing the warning. Another interesting thing - he never said, "The British are coming" since he and other colonists considered themselves British. He told a guard who stopped that the "regulars" were out. Ah, the myths we are raised on!
What was he to think with three, though? I mean, I'd have hesitated anyway.
Mine is here.
Ooohhh, Boston history! Nice! Feels like home.
My 55 is up here.
They're coming by sea, and it's on fire.
Sorry I'm late G... had a hot date. ;-)
Love it! There are so many great stories in American history. My thanks to Paul Revere and to Longfellow for always being able to remember my nephew's birthday (18th April LOL)
I'm finally getting back into normal, meanwhile, even managed a 55 for you this week.
~:-/
And Mr G (I mean Silversmith!) on the opposite shore will be...scaredy-cat!

Hiya G-Man ... History lesson, thank you! Great 55 as always. Mine is up (sorta) Not feeling very creative tonight!!!
There's no need to be so hasty. Lets talk about it. We have a Queen now and perhaps we could give you some seats in Parliament. Mine is here
Much more dashing and romantic than the tanner William Dawes.
Tally-ho!
