Item description from seller

Tissue guard remains in place over frontispiece portrait. PON "Geo. W. Decker" to front pasetdown. "Published October 1905", which matches date to title page, with no later dates mentioned. While not seeking to debunk Revere's courage or importance, the author uses journals of the time (including Revere's) to de-mythologize Longfellow's account of the "midnight ride." (For one thing, Revere ORDERED THE SIGNAL LANTERNS SET in the steeple of Christ Church (the "Old North Church") to inform those in Charlestown of the British departure -- he would have had no need to "watch" for that signal.) Gilt titles remain strong to front board, moderately worn to spine. 294 pp. including index. Reduced from $47.
