Nick's away message:
Historians say that Paul Revere probably would not have been yelling, "The British are coming", since at the time most colonists still thought of themselves as British. His actual cry was: "I say, representatives of the King's army will be arriving on our shores to do most grievous harm to us...so be mindful and watchful on this night!" Over the course of his twelve mile gallop he probably managed to complete the phrase three times.
I found that amusing and thought I would share it with you all.
