"Out started six officers, seized my bridle, put their pistols to my breast, ordered me to dismount, which I did. One of them, who appeared to have the command there, and much of a gentleman, asked me where I came from; I told him. He asked what time I left . I told him, he seemed surprised, said '’Sir, may I crave your name?’' I answered ‘My name is Revere.’” – Paul Revere A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history’s most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees?
