Summary:
"Paul Revere's legendary ride turns out to be full of legend-meaning, what readers think they know about it might not be true! Revere never yelled "the British are coming," nor was he the sole rider out that night. Even more myths are busted in this entertaining look at the American Revolution. Readers practice critical thinking when engaging with the main social studies content and learn fun facts they'll be repeating in class for years to come!"-- Provided by publisher.
