I think we’ve had this conversation before, PO1 William "Chip" Nagel! The only reason that Revere is remembered and Dawes is forgotten is because of Longfellow’s poem, and the reason he used Revere was that he found it easier to rhyme that name in his poem than that of Dawes!
Basically, Dawes has been committed to obscurity because of a poet!
