Notities over Samuel Prescott Doctor

Historians have criticized the Longfellow poem commemorating the â€Å“Midnight Rideâ€Â of Paul Revere. While the poem captures the spirit and color it falls short implying that this was a solitary act. Israel Bissell rode for days to Pennsylvania. He covered 345 miles. His first horse collapsed and died having been ridden so hard. As Paul Revere and William Dawes headed west to Lexington Abel Prescott Jr. headed south to warn the towns of Sudbury and Farmington. While returning British soldiers fired upon him wounding him in the side. Later that year he would die of dysentery resulting from the wound. As Revere and Dawes headed towards Lexington. About 1:00am they met up with Abel's brother Dr Samuel Prescott who was heading home uncomfortably late from a lady friends house. The three were cut off by four British soldiers, part of advanced scouting party who started off the previous evening. The three split up hoping to evade the soldiers. Revere was captured. Dawes lead two of the soldiers to a farm house and yelled out that he'd led the soldiers there. The soldiers believing they'd been led into an ambush broke off the chase. Unfortunately his horse bucked and threw him off. Once he recovered he considered resuming the mission however he heard the Lexington town house bell so he knew that Prescott had succeeded in delivering the message. Evidence is spotty but he undoubtedly went on to serve the Continental Army as a surgeon. He may have joined the crew of a New England privateer, and it was reported that he was in prison in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he died between sometime between November 23, 1776 and December 26 1777.
