    Around 60 years ago my grandfather would take me to Boston's North End to visit the people he grew up with and shop a bit. Across the street from the tenement where he used to live was Paul Revere's shop. We would kick the hitching post for luck. The tenement is long gone and I hope they have got a new post. That one had the snot kicked out of it. Oh yes, after his famous ride do you know what Paul Revere said to that brave horse? "Whoa."

    More than PAul Revere rode for such, but only he was held up to the doing of.
    Longfellow's poem, published nationally and included in Tales of a Wayside Inn in 1863, made Revere a legendary figure -- although the facts needed to be corrected in later years. Paul Revere never actually said "the British are coming!" (he called them "regulars"), and he and Dawes (and a latecomer patriot, Dr. Samuel Prescott) were captured by the British and detained -- but Dawes and Prescott escaped and got the word out. Nonetheless, Paul Revere is remembered for his active role in events preceding the Revolutionary War, and for his metalworking talent and entrepreneurial savvy.

  • @iamthem.a.n.middleagednerd1053

    I had to memorize this whole thing in the 4th grade for a school-wide competition. The way I memorized it, and this is a study habit I developed that serve me all the way through college, is that I would read the first word then I would say the first word out loud. Then I would read the first two words and then I would say the first two words out loud then I would read the first three words then I would say the first three words out loud. Until essentially what I'm doing is repeating the poem over and over and over but I'm just adding one word to remember each time I go through it. And then once I had the whole thing to help me keep Cadence and not miss any words, I rapped it like I imagined the Beastie Boys possibly would. This was 1992
