I gleaned the following from Pacemaker United States History, Third Edition, 2001: __________________________________________ "One lantern meant the British were heading north by land. Two lanterns in the tower meant they were heading north by sea." p. 68 The British would have drowned if they had gone north by land. The only route out of Boston was to the south via Boston Neck. Furthermore, the most direct route via "sea" was west; the way they ended up using. _______________________________________________ "Revere and Dawes were captured." p. 68 Dawes was never captured. He turned his horse around and escaped. _______________________________________________ "Finally, on July 4, 1776, all the members of the Second Continental Congress singed the Declaration of Independence." p. 71 The "official" declaration as we know it wasn't authorized until July 19th when Congress requested a nice, fancy copy. The signers didn't even begin to sign it until August 2nd, with several note signing until even later. _________________________ "The colonists faced the British at Bunker Hill." p. 70 (Caption accompanying a picture of hand-to-hand combat at what *had* to have been Breed's Hill as that was where the fighting took place that day.) _________________________ Interesting, no? -- Paul Auger
