“Paul Revere’s Ride” by Fischer — YES, Highly recommended by me as well.

I also highly recommend “The Minute Men: The First Fight: Myths and Realities of the American Revolution” by John R. Galvin. I think I bought my copy at the gift shop at Concord about 30 years ago. It was first published in 1967.

“The concept of the farmer and shopkeeper pulling rifles off pegs on the wall to fight the British has been the typical image of the American minuteman. The fact that he may have had military training and drilled—and that April 19, 1775 was not his first battle—usually goes unmentioned. Winner of the American Revolution Round Table Award, The Minute Men will be of keen interest to those curious about the true history of some of America’s first soldiers.”
