I learned something new about our founding fathers and that fateful day we sparked a revolution with a single musket shot at Concord. Paul Revere was not in the tower of the North Church in Boston waving lanterns. That job was assigned to another. He was standing by on his horse waiting for the signal to warn the families in Concord that the British were coming to destroy their munitions stored at Concord.
