Author's Description:
"No one has ever told the story of the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere better than Henry Wadsworth Longfellow did in 1860, but Karen Rinaldo and Kevin Doyle have teamed up again to tell the story of the entire day of April 19, 1775, in their easy-reading, thoroughly researched and illustrated, vignette style.
 
"Perfect for the reflection of a scholar or the novice historian, the Rinaldo and Doyle team is known for their ability to weave little-known facts into a well-known story. History comes alive both visually and in the reader's mind. Their love of history and pursuit of accuracy engages the reader to want to read on."
 
This stand-alone book is the second part of a trilogy that helped shape the American spirit.
