Beginning on page 27 is the first printing of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous poem: "Paul Revere's Ride", which told of Paul Revere's (and others) midnight ride to warn the Minutemen in Lexington and Concord that the British troops were coming. The poem became an instant classic, and for over a century was one of the most memorized pieces of literature in America. Almost immediately children and poetry lovers alike would soon easily quote, "LISTEN, my children, and you shall hear... Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere...".
