Granary Burying Ground

“Out started six officers, seized my bridle, put their pistols to my breast,
ordered me to dismount, which I did.
One of them, who appeared to have the command there,
and much of a gentleman, asked me where I came from;
I told him. He asked what time I left .
I told him, he seemed surprised, said ''Sir, may I crave your name?''
I answered ''My name is Revere.”
