Paul Revere was an American soldier and patriot. He was born in 1735 at Boston and died in 1818.
He was originally a copper plate engraver, living in Boston, Massachusetts and produced many caricatures illustrative of the pre-Revolutionary topics. He was one of the prime movers of the Boston tea party. On the night of April the 18th and 19th, 1775, he rode from Boston to Concord to warn of the intended expedition of the British. This is the subject of Longfellow's poem, 'Paul Revere's Ride'. In 1775 he printed the provincial paper money of Massachusetts, and erected a mill for the manufacture of gunpowder. He engaged in the unsuccessful Penobscot expedition in 1779. Research Paul Revere
