Only partially true. Revere was a real person who did live in Boston and who was involved with the Sons of Liberty. He was paid (30 shillings) to ride to Concord to inform the men there that the British were after the powder and guns they had stored. Beyond that it is not true, but taken from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 on the eve of the Civil War. Revere was arrested outside of Boston and never finished the ride. Two men by the names of Prescott and Dawes actually did the ride. Somehow the poem became history and has been retold as history. It is not and the purpose of the poem was to remind people of the history of the United States just before the Civil War started.
