About the book

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.

First sentence: THERE had been week upon week of the cold grey fury of the North Atlantic, for it was midwinter when the little refugee, Apollos Rivoire, made his crossing.
