- Delivering news of the British arrival was the mission of the riders
- Night time covered the riders tracks
- In the middle of the night they made the ride to Lexington
- Gruelling was the pace that the horses ran
- Hanging lanterns signaled the riders
- Two lanterns hung to signal riders in boats
- Redcoats are coming! The redcoats are coming!
