For there were two others who also sped through the darkness as messengers of alarm and who also deserve to be remembered by their fellow-- But they are not thus remembered. Why? li go How does It happen that Paul Revere famous while William Dawes, Jr., and Dr. Prescott are virtually "forgotten men"? several plausible reasons. One of them is the lucky chance of his having a name w,hlch fitted well Into the swinging cadence of a poem by one of America's best- loved poets. "William Dawes" and "Samuel Prescott" are good, substantial American names. But jomehow they lack the musical quality of "Paul Samuel There are SUCH a bewildering Bevere," Another ia the lucky chance (or perhaps it shrewd foresight) of his having written out an account of his exploit and of this manuscript was preserved for posterity. Still another is the fact that this midnight ride was only one Incident in the career of a man of extraordinary versatility. For Paul Revere was a silversmith, an engraver, a cartoonist, a publisher, a poet, a dentist, a merchantman Inventor and a soldier and bis accomplishments In any one of these occupations might easily have guaranteed more than transient fame for him. Recognition of these accomplishments did come to him In his lifetime but for the immortality that Is his, he can thank Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and the poem "The Ride of Paul Revere," first published some 65 years ago and since then recited countless times by countless American school being children. self-sam- Recognition was longer In coming to William Dawes, Jr., even in his native New England. For many years April 19, the anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, has been observed as Patriots' day and celebrated as a holiday. In 1915 began the annual of Paul Eevere's ride as a part of the celebration, but It was not until five years later that William Dawes was similarly honored. On April 17, 1920, the g Boston Evening Transcript carried an article said in part : which y "Both William ride from Boston Dawes and Paul Revere will town to Lexington on Monday. In these Twentieth century years, while Paul Revere has repeated his famous ride on each succeeding Patriots' day, William Dawes lias not, heretofore, ventured forth over the route which he followed on the nineteenth of April, century before last But this year he will make the trip and will receive his share of the honors of the day." The story of the ride cf William Dawes is a generally forgotten incident of the dawn of the Revolutionary struggle, yet he seems to have been entitled to an equal share with Paul Revere in the credit of a daring and dangerous enterprise. He left Boston at the same time ud carried the same message of warning and alarm to the Inhabitants of each outlying village and hamlet. Dawes went under orders of the Committee of Safety as did Revere, but Dawes was sent by the way of Roxbury, Brook-MnCambridge and Arlington to Lexington, Instead of the route followed by Revere through Charlestown, Somerville, Medford and Arlington. The idea was that the British were not Hkely to capture both riders and oneof them was almost certain to get past the enemy. As matter of fact, both overcame the difficulties and dangers and reached their common destination in safety. While the ride of William Dawes has been nnknown to a majority of the general public, it has been by no means overlooked by the historians. In connection with the present observance a brief account of the exploit and something about Dawes himself has been prepared W. K. Watkins, historian general of the Sons of the American Revolution.
