Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was an immensely popular poet , often on historical topics such as Paul Revere, but he often took folketies to heart and did not critically analyze events. You can almost argue that Neil Diamond"s song Longfellow Serenade is a sort of Longfellow-like treatment of the abduction and escape of- well a well known Russian Girl. The sub-line Weave your web of crime upon a Summer Night- Anastasia in Western Church, is patroness of weavers! so Poetic license is in full cry. Longfellow was like this, he would romance stories and sometimes ignore historic facts if they did not agree with his rhymes!
