Abstract
"Composed in 1860 by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and published in his Tales of a Wayside Inn (1863), these oft-quoted lines resurrected from obscurity the name of Paul Revere, whose patriotic ride in Revolutionary America is remembered by many rather than his fame as a silversmith. The descendants of those Bostonian families fortunate enough to have been able to commission plate from Paul Revere have not forgotten the name stamped on their silver. Even if Revere had not taken that "midnight ride," his mastery in the working of silver would be treasured by collectors and museums alike."--First paragraph.
