Reading Paul Revere's Ride | Alexandria
Read Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Reframing the midnight icon from myth to reality: Though remembered as a simple warning tale, Longfellow's poem subtly explores how legends shape national identity. His masterful transformation of a minor messenger into an enduring symbol reveals storytelling's power to forge unity from chaos – a lesson eerily relevant in our era of contested narratives.
