The Ride: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America

The Ride: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America

This is actually a petty inclusive biography of Paul Revere. The 'ride' where he warned Lexington and Concord is the last part of this book. The first part deals with his younger years and is a build up to his ride to alarm people. He was a very skilled horse rider, and interestingly for his rides, to New York, Philadelphia etc, he was actually paid for his time and effort. There is also information about how he became a legend, since others rode out to warn the patriots also, but his story resonated with people.
