"The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" is a poem that recounts Revere's attempt in 1775 to warn the colonists living in the Massachusetts countryside that the British had landed on shore in Boston. Longfellow was attempting to inspire patriotism in World War I-era Americans, and took license with history to demonstrate his point. In truth, Revere was not the only person who undertook the ride, and he was captured by the British before he could complete his planned course.
