Most have heard of how Paul managed to ride on horseback through the colonies in the middle of the night yelling, “The British are coming!” He managed to warn the two towns of the oncoming threat with this brave and gallant act.

First of, “Paul Revere’s ride in 1860,during the turbulent times when the United States was on the brink of civil war.” Some of the people didn’t know how he was or anything like that he might have been a normal person. “How accurate was longfellow poem?” The author was Franklin Johnson, “Paul Revere and the American Revolution” by: Ethel Ames, and “Paul Revere’s Ride” written By: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
