Remembering the lesser riders of Paul Revere’s ride
The piece honors William Dawes Jr and Dr Samuel Prescott, forgotten riders who warned of the British advance on Lexington and Concord in 1775. Dawes is praised for belated recognition and Dawes’s biography is linked to 20th century observances, while Prescott is recalled as a largely overlooked figure whose role is only recently resurfacing in historical memory.
