One if by land, two if by sea. It was this signal in the steeple of the Old North Church that would ignite the fire that would become the American Revolution. We're continuing our trip through Boston with a visit to the Old North Church (www.oldnorth.com) where Paul Revere arranged to have a signal that would go out to the surrounding area that trouble from the British regulars was on the way. But there's more to this place than Paul Revere and the signal lanterns so we're diving in to explore this place and it's history from the crypt to the steeple.
