American Heroes - A Three Part Series

Paul Revere's Ride by Grant Wood

Paul Revere A Patriot With A Purpose

Paul Revere is a unique figure in USA history.  His name is universally known for his “Midnight Ride,” yet he seems to appear out of nowhere on that day and disappear the next.  Like Rosa Parks, he seems to be important for one day of his life, which changes American History and then simply vanishes.  But like Mrs. Parks, Paul Revere was a brave, determined, and respected leader who led a rich, full, and important life before and after his moment of fame.

Paul Revere Children's BookWhile Americans recall something of the drama of Paul Revere’s ride, the details are more harrowing, exciting and heroic than you may realize. The CIA credits Revere as organizing the first spy network to protect America!

Paul Revere was captured on his way to Lexington and Concord by the British -who threatened him with death. The daring Patriot escaped their clutches, slipping through their lines and then riding tirelessly, Revere saved the necks of John Hancock and John Adams.  Using his quick wits and unbelievable courage, Paul Revere even managed to smuggle top-secret documents to safety -right under the nose of the British column!
