The British Are Coming! Paul Revere (played by Brigadier General Leonid Kondratiuk of the Massachusetts National Lancers) made a stop with ‘Brown Beauty’ at City Square on Monday morning for his annual Patriot’s Day Ride to re-enact the storied ‘Midnight Ride’ to warn “every Middlesex village and farm.” The ride has been re-enacted by the National Lancers since 1904 and started at the Old North Church and continued out to Charlestown, where hundreds of residents were there to greet him and hear his warning.
