| Notes: | In many ways, Paul Revere embodied and summed up the spirit of the American Revolution. Here is a thoroughly researched account of his varied life, as artisan, shrewd Patriot leader, and revolutionary organizer. But more than a life of a versatile and courageous man, this book is an authoritative reconstruction of Boston in the bitter years before the Revolution, in the hungry days of siege, and in the first years of the young republic. COMMENTS — Paul Revere and the World He Lived In won the Pulitzer Prize for History. |
