[edit] Summary
Whit tells Marsha the story of Paul Revere and points out a few mistakes in Longfellow's poem.
[edit] Plot
It’s American history time at Whit’s End. When Marsha reads Longfellow’s famous poem about Paul Revere’s midnight ride, Whit tells her the whole story of Revere’s ride, the Boston Tea Party, America’s quest for independence . . . and “the shot heard ‘round the world.”
Facts learned: Did you know that after dumping the tea into Boston Harbor, the “Indians” swept up the boat? Or that Revere and company tried to row more quietly by wrapping petticoats around the oars? Or that Paul Revere was actually there for “the shot heard ‘round the world”?
[edit] Discussion Questions
- Why did the American colonists throw tea into Boston Harbor?
- Why was it important for America to gain its independence from England?
- What made Paul Revere’s ride so important?

[edit] Notes
- GOOF ALERT: After the "shot heard 'round the world," Major Pitcairn is heard ordering his men to fire. Historically we know that Major Pitcairn rode among his men ordering them not to fire and they disobeyed his orders.
