Paul Revere's Ride: The Landlord's Tale

Longfellow’s classic poem of this historic ride is brought to life through animated illustrations capturing the emotions of the period when the British militia arrived in Boston Harbor, which led to the start of the American Revolution.

On April 5, 1860, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) climbed to the belfry of Boston's Old North Church, where almost a century earlier bells tolled the warning that the British were coming. The visit inspired him to write his classic poem that immortalized Paul Revere and the beginning of America's War of Independence.
