He was...

A boy who learned to be a silversmith

The father of sixteen children

A famous American patriot

In 1775, Paul Revere of Boston made his now-famous horseback ride warning colonists of an impending attack by the British. This event went largely unnoticed in history until Longfellow celebrated it in a poem in 1861. So who was Paul Revere? In addition to being an American patriot, he was a skilled silversmith and made false teeth from hippo tusks! This biography, with black-and-white illustrations throughout, brings to life Paul Revere’s thrilling ride as well as the personal side of the man and the exciting times in which he lived.
