On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith and anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on a borrowed horse to fulfill a dangerous but crucial mission: to alert American colonists of advancing British troops. Thrillingly written in a dramatic, unstoppable narrative, bestselling historian Kostya Kennedy’s “The Ride” re-tells an essential American story for a new generation of readers. Kennedy reveals Revere’s ride to be more complex than it is usually portrayed. While Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, Kennedy reveals the other men and women who helped to set in motion the events that would lead to America’s independence.
Books available from Left Bank Books.
An America 250 Celebration Event presented in Partnership with the Missouri Historical Society.
