- Heres a virtual movie of the great American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow reading his best known patriotic poem "Paul Revere's Ride"."Paul Revere's Ride" (1860) is a poem by an American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow that commemorates the actions of American patriot Paul Revere on April 18, 1775.Paul Revere (January 1, 1735 [O.S. December 21, 1734] -- May 10, 1818)[N 1] was an American silversmith and a patriot in the American Revolution. He is most famous for alerting Colonial militia of approaching British forces before the battles of Lexington and Concord, as dramatized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, Paul Revere's Ride.
Revere was a prosperous and prominent Boston silversmith, who helped organize an intelligence and alarm system to keep watch on the British military. Revere later served as an officer in the Penobscot Expedition, one of the most disastrous campaigns of the American Revolutionary War, for which he was absolved of blame.
The poem is spoken by the landlord of the Wayside Inn and tells a partly fictionalized story of Paul Revere. In the poem, Revere tells a friend to prepare signal lanterns in the Old North Church to inform him if the British will attack by land or sea. He would await the signal across the river in Charlestown and be ready to spread the alarm throughout Middlesex County, Massachusetts. The unnamed friend climbs up the steeple and soon sets up two signal lanterns, informing Revere that the British are coming by sea. Revere rides his horse through Medford, Lexington, and Concord to warn the patriots.
Longfellow was inspired to write the poem after visiting the Old North Church and climbing its tower on April 5, 1860. He began writing the poem the next day.[1] It was first published in the January 1861 issue of The Atlantic Monthly. It was later published in Longfellow's Tales of a Wayside Inn as "The Landlord's Tale" in 1863.[2] The poem served as the first in a series of 22 narratives bundled as a collection, similar to Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, and was published in three installments over 10 years.[3]
Longfellow's family had a connection to the historical Paul Revere. His maternal grandfather, Peleg Wadsworth, was Revere's commander on the Penobscot Expedition,
Longfellow's poem is credited with creating the national legend of Paul Revere, a previously little-known Massachusetts silversmith.[17] Upon Revere's death in 1818, for example, his obituary did not mention his midnight ride but instead focused on his business sense and his many friends.[18] The fame that Longfellow brought to Revere, however, did not materialize until after the Civil War amidst the Colonial Revival Movement of the 1870s.[19] In 1875, for example, the Old North Church mentioned in the poem began an annual custom called the "lantern ceremony" recreating the action of the poem.[20] Three years later, the Church added a plaque noting it as the site of "the signal lanterns of Paul Revere".[21] Revere's elevated historical importance also led to unsubstantiated rumors that he made a set of false teeth for George Washington. Revere's legendary status continued for decades and, in part due to Longfellow's poem, authentic silverware made by Revere commanded high prices. Wall Street tycoon J. P. Morgan, for example, offered $100,000 for a punch bowl Revere made.

Paul Revere did not complete his ride. In fact, he had a partner, William Dawes Jr. and along the ride they bumped into Dr. Samuel Prescott. When they ran into British Regulars, Dawes was thrown from his horse and forced to carry on foot, Revere was taken captive and Dr. Prescott was the only one to reach Revere's destination. It is also a misconception that he shouted, "The British are coming! The British are coming!" Since the colonists still believed themselves to be British, this would not have made any sense. Paul Revere used terms like Redcoats and Regulars, not the British. The Americans were still considered British at this time.
+Kristyn Sumner It's called creative liberties, plus it's fun way to learn the story.
It's kind of like Lizzie Borden, she didn't give her mother 40 whacks, it's was her stepmother (and her father) or George Washington and the cherry tree.
You are so very right
Yes I remember hearing the same thing... it is kind of a shame that Paul Revere got all the credit.... sort of like free advertising for Paul Revere Silversmith company after he died . I actually like the sound of him saying the Redcoats are coming the Redcoats are coming .
He got captured and put in a prison cell so his friends finished the ride for him and warned Concord of the attack
Every student should have to read this poem and apply the lesson this to current American culture.
This is beautiful narrative poem. Revere wasn't hesitant. Let freedom ring.
flawless
This is great! The face creeps me out when he talks and blinks especially when his head moves, but whatever great poem!
WOW
Nice animation for 2012
3:16 13 stanzas....stanza 7- verse 7 and 8 of 16 (dead) center stage. 8 But mostly he watched with eager search 9 The Belfry-tower of the Old North Church........."one if by land, two if by sea"...... "Keep a weather eye on the horizon"
Oof I got here from my online school.
.-.
gotta love gaccha :
Thank you!
Paul Revre did one hell of a lot more than just ride for this countries future. Over the course of his life time he did many things as a patriate entrepreneur and person. He was an amazing guy. He probably would have been a truly great president.
There were other people on this ride with him who didn't get the credit and he got captured and didn't finish the ride but instead it was Doctor Prescott
Revere's silver objects are very valuable today. His military prowess during the Revolution left a lot to be desired. He was twice brought up on charges of cowardice. His powerful friends came to his aid both times. Dawes and Prescott deserve more credit than Revere.
Well done. The video adds interest as seeing a human animation is far more engaging than a still.
amazing 10/10 asmr
This is so cool
Enjoyed this very much.Have any Edgar Guest,maybe the Birch Tree or The Gardener?
This man knows how to read poems
thats awesome! (but falls a little into uncanny valley)
Gotta love it! To live and love in this land of wonder, = means everyone rides, into the mystic, side by side. Happy 4th of July everyone.
If you don’t look directly at the movements of the mouth the technology is more effective. Still my favorite poem of all time, (besides either Lepanto or Ballad of the White Horse by G.K. Chesterton). It is my favorite American poem let’s say.
Love this!
Scary. Really SCARY
In 1975 I was at a garage sale and they had A 1884 book by Longfellow. I paid $5.00 dollars for it .I have it put away in my collection. It has Paul Reveres ride in it. I wonder what this book is worth now? Anyone know?
I suspect not that much ,but its a nice thing to have. Try imputting it into google and add the word sale and see what comes up or Ebay or Abe Books,
It depends on what kind of shape it's in. If the binding and the outside and the pages are all in good condition it could be worth something if it is a first edition ( always look for first editions ) but they always take into consideration the physical condition of the book . A long time ago my mother gave me a first edition of a leather-bound that had Mary Shelley's poetry and Dr.Frankenstein's Monster story.... it had some of the most beautiful detailed engravings . I moved away to another state for a while and left it at my parents house and they put it in the basement . I have no idea why they had it in a box on the floor . It rained enough to flood part of the basement and the book was destroyed because they didn't even know it had gotten wet and moldy . Very disturbing , let me tell you .
actually Paul revere did make the ride so listen to the poem again and listen closely he actually did make the ride when Paul saw the British coming he went to the Middlesex village and said the British are coming the British are coming!!!!
Jesus this is creepy. Why you trying to give me nightmares easy peasy
