The British are Coming!


The journey begins tomorrow as we learn more about the American legend or folklore behind Paul Revere. Here are a few things we already know...

There is a poem written by this famous American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, that has something to do with Mr. Revere.


The poem and history don't quite match up. Here are some of the routes taken that evening.


Oh and Paul Revere looks JUST like Jack Black!


We're hoping to add a little more information to our file on Paul Revere. We've been talking about him for hundreds of years, so something must be worth knowing!

I hate it when people make remixes of actual events. Like in the movie Hugo, they changed the book ENTIRELY! Samesies with the poem that the guy wrote: really different

thank you clare! they should be just as famous!

I completley agree with Clare- they must've felt TERRIBLE when everyone was crowding around Paul. They helped alot during the Midnight ride and to tell the truth, I think they were MORE helpful that him.
