5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, 2 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This wonderful book is much more than a story about Paul Revere. Altough more is learned about Revere and his contribution to the Revolution, there are characters that come alive and give a clearer picture what this country went through during those early days before our Independance. The courage and sacrifices of the men and women of that time make one indeed proud to be an American. This is a must read and makes you want to go out and get another book on the subject, which is exactly what I did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting and readable, why is author a cynic, 15 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This is an extremely readable historical narrative. Fascinating as it is, the author's interruptions to make cynical, generalized statements in regard to the current generations of Americans were inappropriate and unnecessary. I read the book to find out what happened then. I took offense to his comments about the descendants of these New Englanders and the current generation of Americans. Does the author include himself in these remarks? He is an historian first rate but he is not an editorialist on current America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fischer book on Revere a revelation, 17 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I just loved this book. I've always been fascinated with history, particularly American, but usually find historical narratives ponderous. That's why this book was such a treat. It was scholarly, yet read like a best-selling novel. I don't know which aspect of Fischer's work I enjoyed more - the debunking of so many heretofore accepted facts about this momentous time, or the absolutely fascinating anecdotes interspersed in the narrative, e.g. - the frail old man, shooting at the Redcoats as they marched past his house, and then shot and bayoneted and left for dead, yet living another 18 years to age 96! Wonderful stuff. I intend to read it again and again.
