On the night of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere, a Boston silversmith and founding revolutionary, barely escaped capture as he rode through enemy lines across eastern Massachusetts to warn residents that British troops were coming. Revere recalled the events in a 1798 letter from which Lawrence excerpted his title. In this panel, the artist rendered the moment when the patriot paused to whisper military intelligence to the captain of the minutemen. A cloak as black as the galloping horse at the center of the frenzied scene camouflages Revere and his clandestine movements, while several figures dramatically brandish weapons.
