Paul Revere

We have all heard of one of the most famous people that contributed to the cause of the American Revolution. A man that on his spare time when he was not fighting for his peoples’ freedom, he would work in his small shop smithing items using metals such as silver and gold. A man that borrowed a horse from a friend in order to ride through the rugged Boston terrain to deliver a message that the British were coming. This man was named Paul Revere.

Many historians have made it a life’s goal in order to delve deep into Paul Revere’s life and to understand even the most minimalistic things that could alter even their most basic comprehensions of Paul Revere’s past. Before writing this, I have set out to search for multiple sources, each telling the reader about Paul Revere’s early life, his education, his love life, etc. Although most of the sources that I have discovered all talk about the same thing, there are some that really make you question yourself on whether you know your stuff or not.

Before delving into Paul Revere’s important actions that had a turning point in history, the author enlightens the reader by giving them a brief biography of Paul Revere. The author starts by telling us a bit about Revere’s early life. The author mentions that Paul Revere was born in Boston’s North End in December, 1134 and that he was the son of Deborah Hichborn, daughter of a local artisan family, and Apollos Rivoire, a French immigrant. It is also mentioned that Revere was the second of 12 children and the eldest son to have survived.
