Listen to the Poem and Read Along
Paul Revere's Ride
by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1861
Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year
He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm.
Paul Revere was a silversmith in Boston and a devoted
patriot. He was a participant in the Boston Tea Party and
the creator of an illustration of what became known as
the Boston Massacre. Revere's ride took place on the
night of April 18, 1775.

The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first
military engagements of the American Revolutionary
War. They were fought on April 19, 1775, in Middlesex
County, Province of Massachusetts Bay. Paul Revere
successfully warned the Americans, the British Army was
coming. These battles became known as the Shot Heard
around the World. The Americans had stood up to the
British Empire.

The Battle of Bunker Hill
was fought on June 17,
1775, during the Siege of
Boston in the early stages of
the American Revolutionary
War. American Soldiers
who were running low on
gunpowder and ammunition
were famously ordered,
“Don’t fire until you see the
whites of their eyes”.
Painting by Howard Pyle, 1897
In 1775, far away from the fighting in
Massachusetts, representatives from all 13
colonies met at the Continental Congress
in Philadelphia. An American Army was
founded. George Washington was
appointed its Commander and Chief.

The Brandywine School of Art
Howard Pyle
The Nation Makers by Howard Pyle, 1903
The American Revolution has captured the
imagination of American Artists for generations. The
Brandywine School of Art was a style of illustration that
attempted to accurately depict historical events, as well as
works of literature. This artistic style was founded by
American painter Howard Pyle. Pyle taught many students
including N.C. Wyeth. A favorite subject of both Pyle and
Wyeth was the American Revolution.
