“Paul Revere’s Ride”: Longfellow’s Mistakes with Fred Zilian, Ph.D

Most of us have read Longfellow’s poem in our early years and assumed it was historically accurate. Not so. Longfellow wrote the poem 85 years after Paul Revere made his famous ride April 18-19, 1775. This talk will examine the historical inaccuracies of the poem and try to explain Longfellow’s mistakes. It will then address the Battle of Lexington and Concord and the significance of the “shot heard round the world.”
