Paul Revere's Ride

This famous ride is when Paul warns the patriots that the British are attacking. There is a poem written about the ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere tells a friend to prepare signal lanterns in the Old North Church to inform him if the British will attack by land or sea. He would await the signal across the river in Charlestown and be ready to spread the alarm throughout Middlesex County, Massachusetts. The unnamed friend then climbs up the steeple and sets up two signal lanterns, informing Revere that the British are coming by sea. Paul rides his horse through Medford, Lexington, and Concord to warn the patriots.

Paul Revere

Paul Paul Revere was born in Boston on January 1, 1735. He was the third of 12 children, but eventually the oldest surviving son. At 13 years he left school and became an apprentice to his father who was a silversmith. Later, when his father died in 1754, Paul was legally too young to officially be the master of the family silver shop. In February 1756, during the French and Indian War, he needed to be enlisted in the provincial army. He didn't stay long in the army, then he came back and took control of the silver shop in his own name.
