Paul Revere's Ride by FISCHER, DAVID HACKETT

Oxford University Press, New York: 1994. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. David Hackett Fischer examines the outbreak of Revolution and the emergence of the American republic. Beginning in the years before the war, Fischer illuminates the figure of Paul Revere, a man far more complex than the simple artisan and messenger of tradition. Drawing on intensive new research, Fischer guides readers through the world of Boston's revolutionary movement, recreates the fateful events of April 18th, and provides a fresh interpretation of the battle that began the war at Lexington and Concord. Includes an Index. ISBN: 0195088476.
