Legend of the Third Horseman: Life and Times of Dr. Samuel Prescott, the Man Who Finished the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere

Samuel Prescott rode into history like a streak of lightning and out of it as quick as a flash. If it were not for Paul Revere s deposition of his own famous midnight ride, history might never remember Samuel. He was a young physician courting a clockmaker s daughter and planning to dedicate his life to the practice of medicine until the American Revolution rewrote his destiny. But this is not only his story; it is also that of John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Joseph Warren, William Dawes, Paul Revere, Thomas Hutchinson, Jonas Clark, the Mullikens, and those who died at Lexington and Concord and at Breed s and Bunker hills.
