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.
