The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming. Longfellow wrote his poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the nation's history. Somehow the poem became part of history and was put into history books as fact. Revere never finished the ride, his horse was taken away and he was held by a British patrol, but thanks to Longfellow we all know who he is. He billed Congress for the ride and the cost of the horse since it was taken from him and it didn't belong to him. It was borrowed from Rev. John Larkin and was named Brown Beauty. Larkin refers to it in his will. His one big contribution was the picture on a flier after the Boston Massacre showing colonist getting shot by the British. This was pure Propaganda and was used to incite discontent between the colonist and the British troops.

Are there any Paul Revere books?

As far as I know, Paul Revere never wrote any books. (He was mainly known for being a very successful silversmith, and you can see some of his work at historical museums like Boston's Museum of Fine Arts.) Revere did, however, write letters, and some of them have survived. You can see several of his hand-written letters digitized via the Massachusetts Historical Society. But if you are asking if there are books about Paul Revere, undoubtedly there are. A good resource for accurate historical information about Paul Revere's life is Boston's Paul Revere House Museum. I enclose the link. www.paulreverehouse.org/
