Revere's Midnight Ride

The pursuit of American Independence spawned some of the greatest achievements and inspirational moments in the nation's history. Not surprisingly, they've taken on a mythical quality over the course of generations. Bil saddles up to find out what Paul Revere's ride was really like, if the turning point in Revolutionary War was a seemingly impossible sniper shot, and if Betsey Ross was really responsible for Old Glory.
