In this episode of America’s Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano tells the gripping story of William Dawes, the other midnight rider who risked everything to warn of the British advance on April 18, 1775. While Paul Revere became a household name, Dawes took an equally dangerous route through British checkpoints, without fanfare, poetry, or recognition. Discover why his name faded into obscurity, the truth behind what was really said that night, and how the Revolution was carried on the backs of ordinary patriots who made extraordinary sacrifices.

Episode Highlights:

• The daring and overlooked midnight ride of William Dawes through Boston Neck
• Why Revere became a legend and Dawes became a historical footnote
• How everyday patriots like Dawes helped ignite the American Revolution without seeking fame
