Paul Revere's night ride is an important tale in the story of the American Revolution. The case has been well studied and documented in the field of Sociology. These analyses [9, 7] refer to the social network as a multiplex network (a network with links of different types). Inspired by these works, we propose in this paper a Visual Analytics investigation of the social scientists' findings using Detangler, a framework designed to handle multiplex networks.
