But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years to come--as the American Revolution morphed from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war--became one of our founding legends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Ride\u003c\/i\u003e, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of April 18 and 19, 1775, informed by fresh primary and secondary source research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. Kennedy reveals Revere's ride to be more complex than it is usually portrayed--a loosely coordinated series of rides by numerous men, near-disaster, capture by British forces, and finally success. While Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, Kennedy reveals the other men (and, perhaps, a woman with information about the movement of British forces) who helped to set in motion the events that would lead to America's independence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrillingly written in a dramatic, unstoppable narrative, \u003ci\u003eThe Ride\u003c\/i\u003e re-tells an essential American story for a new generation of readers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKOSTYA KENNEDY is the Editor in Chief of Premium Publishing at Dotdash Meredith.
