Paul Revere was captured by the British. Samuel Prescott was not captured and alerted the Minute Men who stopped the British at Concord Bridge with the first organized ATTACK on British regulars.

We approached in column, fife and drum, The White Cockade. The British grenadiers, who were pulling the planking from the bridge retreated to the British line, as we formed into line. The British fired the first volley, and killed Abner Hosmer and Capt. Isaac Davis. Our return volley eliminated 16 of the British. Thus began their retreat.
