According to Google Maps, the distance between Wayzata, Minnesota, and Boston, Massachusetts, is 1,408.2 miles. They say following I-90, with no traffic, it would take 20 hours and 58 minutes to drive between the two cities. Sally Ankeny Reiley has followed a more circuitous route to Boston than the one highlighted by Google. Her path from Lake Minnetonka into Copley Square added plenty of traffic, a lot more miles, and has taken a few decades to get from "Theaaah" to "Heaaah."
LEXINGTON – The sound of cantering hooves on pavement, and an urgent shout – "The regulars are out! Grab your muskets!" – broke the silence of the chilly night air. In the darkness, a few lanterns aided a captivated crowd in seeing the silhouette of a horse and rider approaching.
In the wee hours of Sunday night and early Monday morning, Paul Revere, John Hancock, Samuel Adams, their female relatives and several dozen Minutemen, transported spectators back in time and brought Lexington's colonial yellow Hancock-Clarke house to life.
