Paul Revere
Everyone remembers Paul Revere by his quote, "The British are coming" but Paul Revere did a lot more than say that quote. While we present our amazing flyer we hope everyone learns one thing about Paul Revere.

Role in Revolution
On the evening of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere was sent by Dr. Joseph Warren to ride to Lexington, Massachusetts to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock about the British. The moment in history is called the Battle of Lexington, and its also called Paul Revere's Ride. He was also the Lieutenant of artillery and he also manufactured gunpowder and cannons. Without Paul Revere the British would have won the Battle of Lexington and the Patriots would have lost.

He expanded his Silversmith business, opened the countries first copper rolling mill, made copper spikes for ships, and became a pioneer.
