Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1942. An exhaustively researched account of Revere's varied life as an artisan, shrewd Patriot leader, and revolutionary organizer.

Synopsis:

This vivid account of the life and times of Paul Revere was first published in 1942 to great acclaim and a Pulitzer Prize. An elegant storyteller and expert historian, Edith Forbes paints a memorable portrait of American colonial history and of this most legendary of revolutionary heroes — "not merely one man riding one horse on a certain lonely night of long ago, but a symbol to which his countrymen can yet turn."
