Title: Paul Revere's Ride
Description: Paul Revere's midnight ride looms as an almost mythical event in American his-
tory—yet it  has been largely ignored by scholars and left to patriotic writers and 
debunkers. Now one of the foremost American historians offers the first full-scale
history of this monumental event. 

In Paul Revere's Ride, David Hackett Fischer fashions an exciting narrative that
offers deep insight into the outbreak of revolution and the emergence of the
American republic. Beginning in the years before the war, Fischer illuminates the
figure of Paul Revere, a man far more complex than the simple artisan and messen-
ger of tradition. Drawing on intensive new research, Fischer guides readers through
the world of Boston's revolutionary movement, recreates the fateful events of April
18th, and provides a fresh interpretation of the battle that began the war at Lexington
and Concord. 

Returning Paul Revere to center stage in these critical events, Paul Revere's Ride
captures both the drama and the underlying developments in a triumphant return to
narrative history at its finest.
