Paul Revere's Three Accounts Of His Famous Ride: A Massachusetts Historical Society Picture Book is a fascinating historical account of one of the most significant events in American history. The book is authored by Paul Revere himself and provides readers with three different accounts of his famous ride. The book is beautifully illustrated with pictures from the Massachusetts Historical Society archives, which help bring the story to life. The first account is a letter that Revere wrote to his friend, Jeremy Belknap, in 1798. The second account is a deposition that Revere gave to a committee in 1775, just a few months after the ride. The third account is a letter that Revere wrote to his friend, Dr. Benjamin Church, in 1775. In each of these accounts, Revere describes in detail the events leading up to his ride, as well as the ride itself. He explains how he was sent by Dr. Joseph Warren to warn the colonists in Lexington and Concord that the British were coming. He describes how he rode through the night, warning people along the way, and how he was eventually captured by the British. The book also includes a timeline of events leading up to the ride, as well as a glossary of terms used in the book.

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.
