Paul Revere was born on January 1, 1735 in Boston, Massachusetts. He
studied at the North Grammar School in Boston. He served for a short time in
the French and Indian War. After the war, he married Sarah Orne and entered his
father's silversmith business.
Paul Revere soon became interested in the issue of American liberty. He
received lots of attention from political cartoons he drew. Paul Revere was a
member of the "Sons of Liberty." On December 16, 1773, he took part
in the Boston Tea Party.
On April 18, 1775, Revere and William Dawes were sent to warn Samuel Adams and
John Hancock of British plans to march from Boston to seize patriot military
stores at Concord. A signal was established to warn if the British were coming
by land or by sea. From the steeple of the Old North Church in Boston, two
lanterns would mean the British were coming by sea, and one would mean by land.
One lantern was lit. The British were coming by land.
Revere left Boston around 10 PM. Along the road to Lexington, he warned
residents that "the British are coming!" He arrived in Lexington
around midnight riding a borrowed horse. At 1 AM, Revere, William Dawes, and
Dr. Samuel Prescott left for Concord. Revere was captured. Only Prescott got
through to Concord.
Revere was released without his horse and returned to Lexington. At Lexington
he joined Adams and Hancock and fled into safety in Burlington. Revere returned
to rescue valuable papers in Hancock's trunk. When the British arrived on April
19, the minutemen were waiting for them. In 1778 and 1779, Revere commanded a
garrison at Castle Williams in Boston Harbor. Revere left the service in
disrepute. During and after the war, Revere continued his silversmith trade in
Boston. He died on May 10, 1818.
