| Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem Paul Revere's Ride, written in 1860 and published in 1861 in the Atlantic Monthly, transformed Paul Revere from a relatively obscure, although locally known, figure in American history into a national folk hero. As a result, most people know him only for his famous ride to Lexington on the night of April 18-19, 1775. Revere's life, however, was a long and productive one, involving industry, politics, and community service. He was a founding member of the Sons of Liberty and the only craftsman/manufacturer so honored. A fierce patriot. |

| Performing for almost a million people gathered on The Mall, as well as millions more at home tuned onto PBS’ annual presentation of A Capitol Fourth, Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers debuted their new MP3 single, “Me and Paul Revere.” The original song, based on Martin’s historical research, sets the record straight amid all the recent confusion and controversy. Sung by Steep Canyon Rangers guitarist Woody Platt, “Me and Paul Revere” tells the story of that famous ride from the point of view of Revere’s horse, Brown Beauty. The song has become the official show closer of Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers’ 50-plus date national tour. |
