the Lightning Strikes SeriesLightning Strikes the Colonies
by C. L. Fagan
PAUL REVERE is most well known for the famous poem “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere,” an event that occurred in 1775, 23 years after Fagan’s novel takes place. It is interesting that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem was inaccurate. Paul Revere never made it to Concord to warn the militia; Samuel Prescott did. What Revere did was more important, as he warned Samuel Adams and John Hancock to escape before the British arrived. If Adams and Hancock had been captured, the revolution may never have occurred. However, Paul Revere is a shy, short (only 5’1”) 16-year-old boy in Lightning Strikes the Colonies who tents to shudder only around Melinda, but was already a master silversmith. He and his father had plans to open an iron foundry; but did all that change when Melinda came into his life?
