Haven't read  it in full, but skimming, this seems useful.  Lots of detail about the timing of Revere's ride.

"It is an uphill struggle, but I wish that we could distinguish more carefully between freedom and liberty. These conditions are not the same, though they are certainly related. Freedom is the absence of restraint - a physical circumstance. Liberty, on the other hand, is a political situation denoting the lawful capability of the citizen to defend himself and his near and dear without interference from the state. Note that the Declaration of Independence forcibly and particularly establishes the blessings of liberty upon ourselves and our posterity. I like to carry a pocket copy of the Declaration, plus the Constitution, in my travels. It is a good thing to have in hand when discussions arise."
-- Col. Jeff Cooper, Commentary

Thx for finding this. I look forward to his book.
Beck says PR was in Lexington for a total time of about an hour before both PR and Dawes rode off.

OTOH, Fischer states his opinion, without quotes or a footnote, leading the reader to believe
total time was about an hour and a half. See p.110.Fischer.
