Thanks for posting. Project Appleseed teaches the American Revolution, focusing partly on Revere's Ride, through marksmanship. Here's a
short video at the link. All responsible humans are invited to spend a weekend learning marksmanship skills and American history.

... on the Eighteenth of April in Seventy-five
Hardly a man is still alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
My father had an eight grade education. But to his dying day, he could recite that poem word for word. As well as "O Captain, My Captain", "Old Ironsides", "The Concord Hymn", and the entire lyrics to "Big Bad John".
