Question

Paul Revere's Ride" and "Ballad of Davy Crockett" both fit into which folk poetry category?

Answer 1

"Paul Revere's Ride" (1860) is a poem by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow that commemorates the actions of American patriot Paul Revere on April 18, 1775. “The Ballad of Davy Crockett" is a song with music by George Bruns and lyrics by Thomas W. Blackburn. It was introduced on ABC's television series Disneyland, in the premiere episode of October 27, 1954. As it can be approached, both can easily fit into the category of folk ballad poetry.
