Well, paul revere , from whence do the Red Coats come ?

Good morning Citizen JB3, thanks for the clue (and lesson)..... as I was without one...

Two it shall be (at least the general answer was correct, in spite of my ignorance).

Better late than never, I hope the Mad Lady still has some fingers left....

On the evening of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere was sent for by Dr. Joseph Warren and instructed to ride to Lexington, Massachusetts, to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were marching to arrest them. After being rowed across the Charles River to Charlestown by several associates, Paul Revere borrowed a horse from his friend Deacon John Larkin.

While in Charlestown, he verified that the local "Sons of Liberty" committee had seen his pre-arranged signals. (Two lanterns had been hung briefly in the bell-tower of Christ Church in Boston, indicating that troops would row "by sea" across the Charles River to Cambridge, rather than marching "by land" out Boston Neck. Revere had arranged for these signals the previous weekend, as he was afraid that he might be prevented from leaving Boston).

Humbled Z reporting..... (with tail between legs).....
