This volume constitutes a must-read for serious lovers of poetry, and would make for a fantastic addition to any bookshelf. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was an American poet and member of the Fireside Poets. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive.

Ride along with Paul Revere in this elegant hardback edition of Revere's own account of his heroic ride as well as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poetic retelling, proudly printed in America. This hardback gift edition includes the 1860 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem, Paul Revere's Ride, as well as Paul Revere's own account of the events. The famous midnight ride of April 18-19, 1775 raised the alarm among Massachusetts patriots that the British were on the move from Boston to Concord. Twenty years afterword, Revere wrote a letter telling the true account of his historic ride. Eighty-five years after the event, the ride and Revere were immortalized by Longfellow in his famous, if not completely accurate, dramatic poem.
