The
"Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" is total BS. He road a tiny distance and got credit for the whole thing. A Civil Servant named Bissell, Rode the long and dangerous road and got little or no credit. Bissell's Family were even Libeled by Revere's when They asserted the Facts in Public. Revere was an Ass.
"Washington Slept Here" was a tongue in cheek slam because of His well earned reputation for accepting
Female Hospitality as He traveled. He wasn't called "The Father of Our Country" for nuthin.
Not slamming anybody, but the truth as We believe, many times is not the actual Truth as it occured.
Cheers!
