If you are asking about Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the author of the famous poem "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere," no he was not. He wrote that poem in 1860, many years after the actual ride, which occurred in 1775. (Longfellow himself was born in 1807.) The fact that he wrote about this event years after it happened means that while it's a great poem and was very popular, it has some inaccuracies in what Longfellow says about Paul Revere's ride.
