Henry Wadsworth Longfellow forever etched Paul Revere's name in the pantheon of Revolutionary heroes with his poem "Paul Revere's Ride." William Dawes and Samuel Prescott have joined Revere as celebrated alarm riders of April 18, 1775. However, even the addition of those two riders does not fully tell the story of the Lexington Alarm. Alan Foulds tells us about others, including Martin Herrick of Reading, who spread the alarm on April 18 and 19 and the role of the communities of Lynn, Lynnfield & Reading in the American Revolution.
