Trivia: Who wrote the famous poem about Paul Revere’s “midnight ride”?
Samuel Adams
Henry Longfellow
Francis Scott Key
Alexander Hamilton
The correct answer is Henry Longfellow
So why is this answer correct? : Boston patriot Paul Revere was the founder of the first American spy network, but he’s perhaps best known for his famous “midnight ride” on April 18, 1775, to warn fellow patriots about the coming British forces. His ride was immortalized in Henry Longfellow’s 1861 poem “Paul Revere’s Ride,” which, though containing some historical inaccuracies, secured Revere’s legacy for centuries to come.
